Lamby dresses neat 08.07.26

I am naturally someone who takes pride in their presentation. I enjoy the quiet rituals of picking out my skirt and stockings and taking my sweet time ironing out my clothes to hang before wear

I dress simple, covered, and comfortable. I love button up shirts, not form fititng at all, clothed from shoulder to sleeve and neck to waist.

But I'm scared that, my grades will go down, because of the way I dress.

Shown to us, projected onto a huge screen on the first day,

"your grades for the exam will not only be based on your answers, but on your presentation, religion, and how you carry yourself." 

I'm a devout person, I want to think, but I never pray in public spaces, only within the 4 walls of my room do i feel safe praying, do I feel like I can focus, do I not feel scared of being whispered at or shunned away

I don't wear any sort of headscarf. I seemed to be the only person in that room who didn't.

At times I feel like the people around me will undermine me. Will think I am some wannabe westernised youngster

It's more a relaxed environment, but I can't help but think, I'm never really welcome. 

I'm afraid, of the people who will try to tell me what I am and am not, what I can be and can't be. 

I'm afraid. Ill keep on going, though, as I am, unabashedly. 

This is a very simple fear, and I will not let it ruin me. I will study hard and I will reach my goals, I will gain merit for my work and what I do, and I will not let my appearance denounce any of that

Good day, to all girls and people in the world, who feel like they may be judged by the way they present,

you are wonderful and the world needs you, keep going on ♡
