I’m meant to go out with my mom today, but I’m not sure whether I should wear hijab or not. Shopping with her is already stressful , I know she‘ll be insufferable about my hijab if I don’t wear it. My hair is also a mess and I don’t have time to wash it. But I also insisted yesterday I wouldn’t wear it today, I can’t go back on my word. What to do.
- everyone has hair
- no one was under the impression that you were bald under there
- no one cares what you look like
- it is a free country
- you look gorgeous!
Going back home for the first time in about a month after taking my hijab off. Going to shop for a graduation dress with my mom. I don’t foresee this being easy but it’s only three days. I have enough on my plate with final essays and exams but I do need something to wear and I do not have the $ to buy my own. Wish me luck. I plan to stand firm on not wearing it out. I can’t let them see that I’ll bend if they keep pushing me. No compromise on bodily autonomy! No compromise on my self- respect and dignity. No negotiation on my right to control my image. No more explaining myself, either you support women’s ownership over their own bodies or you don’t.
