Who am I? A girl, a women, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. What's my existence? Not sure... am I suppose to live freely? If you ask a general perspective the answer would be yes I do but who actually make me or ppl like me live freely??? Are these just words or it's practically possible? Why I am being  judged for what I wear, what I eat, how I sit or how I talk? Why my appearance matters more than my nature and achievements? Why I always been labelled that if you will be highly educated your marriage would not be successful.
Why wearing less clothes label me as slut and wearing hijab/abaya makes me conservative?
Why going for a late night friends hang out make me characterless or being introvert makes me unfit for this society.
Why marrying early is an achievement and getting married in late 30's is a shame. Why being single is against the fashion trend?
Why not giving a birth to a child is just a mistake of a women? If a men cheats on a women why it's labelled that a man gets distracted it's his nature, you failed as a wife to keep him entertained.
Why?
Why??
Why???
My little brain cells ask me these questions again n again, sometimes in the midnight and sometimes between the day.  At a point of time I get numb because waves of these questions hits me hard.
Still I don't have an answer...
