Whenever I walk around and then I spot, like, a car window, or glass wall or something, I HAVE to look at myself.
"OMG, why is it so far back??"
"Since when was this pin here??"
"It looks like I don't even have a bun!!"
"I don't remember looking like this."
"Why am I SOOO UGLY?!"
"HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN LOOKING LIKE THISS??!!"
I go to the nearest bathroom and fix myself.
With friends sometimes.
New friends.
Who haven't seen my hair.
Ever.
"OMG!! YOUR HAIR IS SOO POUFY!!"
"You look soo beautiful!!"
"Why do you cover it?!!?"
"You're like, a billion times hotter than me right now!"
"Can I touch it?"

And they start 'oohing' and 'aahing' and touching my hair without my permission.
Do you have any idea how annoying that is?!!?
It's flattering and all, but GIVE ME SOME FRIGGIN' SPACE.
I came here for one reason.
Not to poo.
Not to pee.
Not to wash my hands.
TO DO MY HIJAB.

RandomNote: I made this book when I was 14 and there's a lot of cringey things in there and I have definitely changed as a person. The things I put in there do not align with my values anymore and if I had the time to edit this book, I would. SORRY IN ADV...
