New revert and summertime
Assalamu Alaykum, I'm a new Muslim who reverted only a couple months ago. My husband is a born and raised Muslim and we have been married for 2 years now. I was a born and raised atheist so my conversion journey has been a bumpy road, but mashallah I'm happy where I am now and in my beliefs. Summer is coming up and I've been seeing more women my age dress you know in shorts and summertime clothes... I don't miss dressing like that but I have started to miss having my hair down and when I think about going to the beach I get emotional because I know I'll never be able to wear a swimsuit and feel the sun on my skin. I know this is a common struggle among reverts, and I am new at this so I know I'm not being irrational. I just don't feel like my husband would fully understand how and why this is a struggle for me. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for me or had any suggestions on how I can overcome these really sad emotions?
