Terrified girl typing. Hello! That's me!

I've thought long and when I mean long, I mean taweel-long. I've struggled to speak in public my entire life and not speaking has gotten it worse. I was outspoken in  school, clubs, family gatherings but just speaking in public, in front of so many unfamiliar faces,I panicked. 

Today, I want to it to be official.  I want to start sharing my ideas, thoughts and well, almost everything about the Hijabi life of mine.  I want to start here, in a public place to the public world and maybe, one day I can tell my kid and completely believe it,  that it's not so hard.  :) 

A Message to the Woman Behind the Screen,

I decided to start blogging because I've finally concluded that I needed to. Believe it or not, at 2:12 a.m, I decided to get out bed and write because I need to get started somewhere. Tomorrow morning, I'll wake up complaining of sleep deprivation and the next, so that I would be able to wake up early for Ziado and I still wouldn't listen. I guess, I figured what it that that is really keeping me from sleeping-

Perhaps, I heard voices in my head. If starting here means you'll read and know that many people are writing for you, you'd be encouraged. You'd be encouraged to be who you are, whatever you may be, with whoever you dream of being. 

Perhaps, I can start by telling you. Do not be afraid. Be strong!   

And convince myself what I'm hoping to convince you. Together. Here.
