Dear Me,
I've probably written about 10 ******* letters so far throughout the past 2 years but they're really therapeutic. So here it goes. It's September 7th 2021. It's the night before you move to Egypt for a few months. It's also the night before you start wearing the hijab for, well, I guess forever lol. You're pretty sure of your decision and you know that if you don't do it now you'll feel pressure from the western society you live in and probably always find an excuse to never do it. I hope when this letter finds you, you're okay. I'm not sure when I'll send it yet but it probably won't be that far away from now. I wanna know how it's going so far. How did everyone react? I'm sure everyone was lovely. That never worried me at all. I probably cried alot. Because it's alot of pressure and a big responsibility. But I'm proud of you for pulling through. At least I hope you did. Because this letter will be real awkward if you didn't. I hope family isn't that horrible as you're expecting rn. But if they are then I hope you're protecting your energy. Don't let anyone **** with you man. They've already done enough. You got this. Focus on why you went back in the first place. Spend time with people who matter. Lastly, did you have a panic attack again in the plane? **** I really hope you didn't. I'm really anxious rn about the whole flight. Hope it went wellš„²
But anyways, you're stronger than you think. Don't let anyone convince you that you're less than or that you're not normal. You know who you are. You know your worth. Let's mf go my dude.
Love always,
Past you ā¤
Ps: alot can happen in 2 weeks. Especially in Egypt. Hence I'm sending this off to the near future. See you thenš«
