A Sheltered World

I used to be friends with a very devout Muslim mother. She's really young but already has 3 young girls, and keeps an active blog that's complete with adorable pictures of her little girls doing silly things such as dancing, singing, and telling children's stories. She keeps her own blog, which is filled with motherhood stories and almost flawless writing. Lately, I've been feeling the need to revert back to piety. Perhaps her seemingly perfect, sheltered world comes as a result of her devotion to Allah. I want that...very much. My world could be that, maybe, with the right amount of Islam. But I've been too beaten down and disillusioned by the Muslims I've known. My world is brimming over with negativity and untrustworthy people.
