Being an atheist in the Arab world means you have to get use to feeling worthless. Your own family excludes you. Things that makes them laugh make you cry. Your words don’t make sense to them and you can’t stand their words anymore. Your dreams are their worst nightmares and your goals go against their will. I don’t know if my love for them can overcome my fear that one day they will turn against me… once they know who i am really
