I always thought that it that it easier not wearing it. I had more friends, and was easier to approach. Life would be easier. But I while was surfing the net I clicked on a video by chance. The video had people who were not Muslim try on the hijab. While watching the video I thought that I should. I decided to tell my mom to buy one for me on the way home.
