I Wear a Scarf
But I am not different from humans
I tell you about me, I do not have much to tell because I don’t have a huge introduction, nor am I a top mountain climber yet, but I guess I have enough to prove that even though I wear a headscarf, I am a human.
I am a Muslim girl and I wear a headscarf. My family used to like traveling, so I lived in a number of countries in this world, including Germany and Singapore. I experienced that they have different languages, colors, faiths, cultures, and lifestyles, but they also have the same judgmental thinking of Muslim people.
People often ask me why I wear a headscarf? Do they think I don’t have good hairs? Or am I bald? Oh, are you laughing at this question? It makes me laugh, too. But yes, it is true that people really ask me these types of questions on a daily basis.
In fact, many people assume that I have conservative thinking and they treat me with very rude behavior. Sometimes, when I go somewhere and they see me with a scarf, they don’t respond adequately to my good wishes. They even try to ignore me as best they can.
Firstly, I want to tell that I am not bald, nor I have bad hairs to hide. I have black silky long hairs and if truth be told I love my hairs! Secondly, I am not a conservative girl.
I am twenty-three years…
