Dear umm zaid(or perhaps, dear former umm zaid),
Im not going to say anything about your being a Muslim because i simply have no concrete information at hand to make that judgement. The other day an anonymous person left a comment saying that they know you personally and that you are an atheist now. Quite Frankly, I guess that marks the end of my journey. We have this extremely intricate, complex and beautiful thing in front of our very eyes, the 'reality', and all of us have to decide what we ought to make of that fact. Either we allow ourselves to ascertain the existence of God and his revelation through his chosen people, or we simply discard it and credit random chance for having built whatever we see around us, and us ourselves as well. I leave it at that, and I am sure that at this stage of your life you have already decided which path you are going down on and have considered the repercussions of your decision very carefully(although it would have been very interesting if we could hear which one is that and why have you chosen it). As you might have noticed that I adhere to the faith of Islam, therefore, I choose to believe that a maximally higher being exists and that it has on purpose created everything and i will pray for your guidance (as well as my own) towards the truth behind. Farewell to you, please be known that whatever you wrote for this faith lies in thousands of hearts and will not perish, that there are people who have been concerned about a fellow Muslim's trials and tribulations and who, ever faithfully, pray for her goodwill. May you find peace, amen. My email address will still be open if you ever come across this corner of the web and decide to engage in a conversation.
Best wishes
