ASalaamu Alaikum
I want to ask for advice. 16 yrs ago I graduated from the Advertising course and then I converted to Islam. Because I was was visibly muslim no one would hire me! So I stayed home and had tons of kids but inside I still feel angry that my dream to write was taken away from me. I chose advertising because its creative and at least you can make money off it unlike a book which may or may not be published. I didn't choose journalism because it is not creative. I still have to take care of my kids but what could I do at home in my field which could make me feel like I am contributing to society? I feel so miserable lately..my dreams never came true and on top of that the crushing loneliness of being a convert and together they are taking a toll on me. Anyone else gone through discrimination and had their dreams foiled? HOw did you come out of it..how do you cope? What should I do for myself? Oh and the mosque doesn't let me volunteer so forget that or I would be writing newsletters and articles galore.
