| Hijab & me ... |
| Assalamu aleikoum everyone I just wanted to say something about my hijab...not to tell you that it's an order from Allah and you have to wear it...but just to show you how it changed my life after changing the way people look at me.. When I first started wearing it, I didn't really get its point but I wore it because it was an order from Allah and well...I wouldn't prefer to go to hell and let the fire destroy my body....... But then..as I grew older, I realized that this hijab changed the way people look at me...I felt that I gained more respect from people around me.. That's because they stopped looking at my body (every girl is beautiful ..and when you look at her you wouldn't skip the nice part of her (=body)..right? ) to start to look at my personality...see the inside me. I've also become more independent...guys wouldn't run after me to have some fun with them...they knew what I could give them and what I couldn't I figured out that i wouldn't like to do anything for the others ..I actually like the way I look and that's very enough for me! and i really admired myslef.. I realized I don't need anyone to appreciate me..as I already liked how Allah made of me a nice creature,. I also figured out that it was a mecanism....be sexy and guys will look at you..wear scarf and guys won't be looking at your body... And I choose the second solution..to wear my hijab and let people get away from my body...be myself and start to act as I want to act..not as others want me to act (my beauty is for me, and doesn't concern others ,at least doesn't concern everybody)...see what I want from my life That was really the time I began to see how my life improved. Now, whenever I look at myself..I see how lucky I am for that I like myself..that I don't need anyone to tell me I'm beautiful ..I've gained more self confidence..and i can tell now that it opened the doors for a better life for me. And as my message is clear to guys..I don't really get into troubles of this kind: "he loves me..loves me not" (guy's side: who told her I love her?).....:P "what's this girl doing with him"..... "I'll wear the shortest skirt tonight"..... "I definitely look better than her".... In a word I've gained more liberty, felt myslef bigger than all this stuff.. Well...this is one of my life experiences..just wanted to share it with ya :) |
