Struggling
Assalamu alaikum. I'm a Latina revert, been Muslim for four years now, alhamdulillah. I'm not perfect-when I first reverted, I lost friends and family connections. Lately, I can't shake this feeling that I'll never get married. Before I wore hijab, men used to approach me a lot, but now it's different. Being Latina, I often feel like I don't fit into the Muslim community's culture. Our ummah is beautiful, with every color and shape, but I feel distant. I used to be so strong in my faith when I first came to Islam, and now I feel weak. I've even thought about removing my hijab, but the guilt holds me back. I'm just tired of waiting for marriage, and sometimes it feels like everyone prefers someone Arab. I know this might sound foolish because Allah has a plan for each of us, but it's so frustrating. I wish I had a Muslim family to lean on-maybe it would make things easier.
