Hey everyone, I'm a 16-year-old living in Tunisia, which, as you might know, is predominantly Muslim. However, I identify as an atheist, and this has made me feel pretty isolated at times. There are a few things I'm really focused on right now: I want to excel in school because it's my ticket to leaving this country and pursuing a better future. I'm also thinking about relationships. I'd like to have a girlfriend who I can connect with on a deeper level. I want to improve myself—become cool, handsome, and develop social skills so I can make friends more easily and fit in with different people. I feel a bit lost, though, trying to navigate all of this. I’m hoping to find someone here who has gone through similar experiences or just someone who’s mature and can help guide me, teach me more about life, and maybe even become a friend. Thanks for reading
