Freedom of the mind is the start of all freedoms.
I wish you all the best and thanks for this article, you are an inspiration.

Now you see the importance of exploring the world outside your immediate environement.

I am amazed when you kept saying “Marry Off…” like the ladies dont have option on what/when to do with their life. but i think it is also obtainable in the northern part of my country. Millions of ladies expeirence similar tale & many are not privedged to know the difference or even air their burdens (maybe out of ignorance, fear for security, Ostratization by the community/family etc) and we see many promising ladies end their dreams only to be a cleric wife & be making babies. they are happy possibly because they dont know what else is out their.

Bit i feel everyone should be allowed to experienced a balanced view then chose what they really wana adopt & do with their individual lives (so far as it wouldnt cause real harm on another)

Love that you mentioned this journey is openeing your mind bigger to Gods’ place in all these. As a freethinker i hope you dont rule that one out

THERE IS GOD
Our path to discoverimg him might be different .bowever it will be foolish for any of us to deny his existence & influence in the affairs of men.

I wish you a good ride
Keep being the voice as God leads you.

The best is yet to come.
