What happens when the pressures of society causes the desire for acceptance and change. Changes that can be the detriment of one’s own worth and sense of self.
When love comes into the picture , when that love isn’t what you really thought you wanted.
“The assumptions he saw in strangers’ eyes as they took in his beard and skullcap were painful to acknowledge. Khalid had considered shaving or changing his wardrobe many times over the years. It would be easier for the people around him, but it wouldn’t feel right. This is who I am, he thought.”
“Oh, honey, nobody knows how this thing works. It just happens. Your heart and gut take over, and your mind has to go along with them, because it’s going to happen no matter what. Sometimes you get a sign, and sometimes the sign gets you.”
