[shadha]

When I had long hair, I would just pull it back in a low bun.

A couple years ago, I use to despise all the attention the Hijab brought me. I was young and felt really self-concious. I hated being stared at. I hated answering their nosy questions. But now, I love walking into a place and have all eyes fall on me. It's like, what up. Even if some people act mean towards me for wearing it- I have no problem acting mean back. You get what you give. I still deal with the questions, but I carry myself more proudly now, so the prying questions just roll off me. I also strongly feel that if they can wear whatever they want then I sure as hell will wear whatever I want and how I want. Don't like it? Kiss my Hijab. Having that belief really made me become a stronger Hijabi. I want a shirt that says "Kiss My Hijab". Anyway, often times people are really nice and shower me with compliments on how nice I look in the Hijab or the Hijab style I did that day or how I Islamize 'Western' clothing etc.
