The messy side

I still believe in Allah and still read my Quran when I can I still feel connected in my religion I Just taired of the persona I put on just bc I have my hijab on… on well~ 🤔Cons: I don’t feel I wight on me to be perfect Muslim!! #muslimah #hijab #journey

3/27 Edited to

... Read moreLiving as a Muslim woman wearing the hijab can be both empowering and challenging. From my own experience, I’ve found that wearing the hijab often brings societal expectations that can feel overwhelming, especially when trying to balance personal faith and public perception. It’s common to feel pressure to be a “perfect Muslim,” and that weight can sometimes cause disconnection or doubt. This year, I struggled with staying connected to wearing my hijab consistently, which made me question if that distance made me any less of a Muslim. The answer I’ve come to is no — faith is deeply personal and not defined solely by external appearances. Reading the Quran and maintaining my relationship with Allah remains central to my spirituality. What helped me was focusing more on my internal beliefs rather than the persona I felt I needed to portray. I also realized that many Muslim women go through a similar journey of self-discovery in their 20s and beyond, navigating societal misunderstandings and personal struggles with identity. It’s important to embrace the messy, imperfect sides of faith and recognize that spirituality evolves. The hijab can symbolize many things — commitment, strength, or a personal journey — and it’s okay to reconsider what it means to you at different times in life. Open conversations with others who share your experience or seek guidance from trusted community members can provide support. Remember, nobody’s faith journey is linear, and embracing these challenges with honesty and self-compassion can lead to a stronger, more authentic connection with your beliefs.

The Messy Side of Healing
I don’t think people always realize how messy healing can actually look. Not the pretty version. Not the peaceful “everything changed overnight” version. Not the version where you wake up one day and suddenly everything feels light. I mean the real version. The crying in the car version.

• Split hair into 4 pony tails. (Little elastics work best) Leave out tiny front bangs & side pieces to give more messy & face framing details. • Turn the 4 ponytails into messy buns. Start from bottom and clip other pony tails out of the way to make it easier. • Scrunch messy buns around
