“I had been waiting for this day for a long, long time. The day the curse is lifted, the day the anxiety and paranoia dwindle away, the day the underlying issues are resolved, the day the heavy weight in my chest is removed, the day I breathe a sigh of relief after holding my breath for what seemed like an eternity, the day the blissful peace returns to my soul. Today, that day has come. I’m free at last. ‘Be patient, for indeed, the promise of Allah is true.’ ”
