Learn to use it when it's needed
Salacious tidbits on life, liberty, literature, languages, and love from the viewpoint of one crazy, white, Spanish-speaking, American hijabi.

Soy yo!
La guera- latina- pero gringa- musulmana.
Maybe you heard about me?
Soy la unica.

About Me
- Molly
- I'm somewhere in my 20's, newly married to an Egyptian and learning to navigate the tricky corridor of meshing myself and my life completely into someone else and their life; although it helps immensely that he is the awesomest human being that I ever got a chance to call my own. I'm kind of obsessed with Islam, not in a stuff it down other people's throats way, but in a fuzzy-it-makes-me-happy sort of way, I go a bit nutty for palm trees, and I'm really just trying to figure out how this whole grown up life thing goes. And all in hijab.

Masha Allah, that is a wonderful piece. You have so much talent. Insha Allah you will continue to develop it.
What is this site, "Disconnected Verses"? Who is the owner? It has some real nice writing on it.
Also notice there is another Safiyyah on there, spelling just like mine, lol.
Disconnected verses is a group of toronto muslimahs, and they've let me be a guest writer from time to time. There should be some way to contact them on their page if you would like to. :)
Thank you for your compliment, so much. I'm always nervous putting my creative writing out there.
Thank you.
Very engaging piece. MashAllah you have an engaging way of writing.
How much of what you wrote is based on actual events that have happened to you personally?
(Yeah, I know its none of my business, but I'm sure I'm not the only one musing)
If the piece was based on real life occurance, what was the outcome?
Thank you.
And none of it is from personal experience alhumdulillah. Its purely fictional, but I know people that similar things have happened to unfortunately.
