My Declaration of Emotional Independence

I’m just chickensh* because I had literally just put hijab on Friday night and said “I think this is it this time!!” I wore hijab when I was 18 and I remember the stares and comments. But this time, I proudly walked around thinking I was ready at 38. I went to the store and bought sleeve extenders, hijab caps… I was ready to do this.

Who am I, you ask?

One soul among many, including yours

Who witnessed the first breath of Adam

Who am I?

I am the servant of my Lord

The same as you

Setting: Forest of some kind. There a house overgrown with trees. A bunch of ladders everywhere. Rope and pulley systems. The house looks like a bunch of shipping containers stacked in different ways to give the residents comfort.
