I am a fly
I am a fly. Weakness and strength reside within me. Allow me to develop my whole mind and to release the cure for the disease that I produce. As much as I focus on the obstacles in the outside world, I know that they can never truly stand in my way. Society is powerless on my journey. Friends are powerless and not even my family is truly capable of stopping me. It’s not the outside world that keeps my cure suppressed. It is I.

How I got here…
Aya Sophia is a 22 year old student living in London. Until recently, her life so far has been the same collection of excesses and conformity as of any other young 'westerner'. And yet, a year ago, restless with angst, she decided to embark on a path of self-discovery in search of 'Meaning' in her life. To her surprise, she found herself seriously considering converting to Islam, and so has decided to spend this year discovering, and living, the faith. In her new blog, 'Aya Sophia: Journal of a Muslim-to-be", she will share with Ceasefire readers her journey towards what could be the most important decision of her life.
