Worn by women.. and men. The head scarf is worn for religious purposes, for purposes of fashion among other reasons. My most favorite reason will be to hide bad hair. You know, when you have semi done hair, hair that has refused to collaborate with your comb, or maybe you have just scraggly hair or hair beyond help. The head scarf thus comes in handy.
The headscarf hides untold ugliness. The headscarf protects a person from the judging eyes of the public by hiding their ugliness. The headscarf provides shelter and a shell that one can crawl back to. The person will look ‘beautiful’. Most head scarfs are made from different kinds of fabric. Then there are those made of invisible fabric. Not visible neither is it tangible.
This kind of headscarf hides the real person. The ‘ugliness’ that a person may think he/she has. It hides a pain untold. It hides struggles untold. It hides scars from battles before. The scarf hides from prying eyes all kinds of atrocities that mankind may face. To an extent the headscarf may help. Keeping one from the judgmental public and all. Keeping at bay embarrassment, preserving the dignity of many.
The headscarf may hinder our interactions with people. Keeping us from getting the support a and love that we need from family and friends. The scarfs may hinder us from achieving our dreams as they hold us back. The scarfs stifle us as people and may choke us to our demise. The scarfs may blind us too. We fail to even see real people. We lose trust in ourselves and in others. The moment one let’s go of the headscarf, one becomes a new being. The moment one gathers the courage to expose him/ herself, he/she has conquered the world. The sense of freedom will be immense. The amount of happiness that comes with the freedom is of untold measures. With happiness comes the self appreciation and self love. With that one can believe in their selves. One can have hope in situations that are beyond hopeless. One can scale heights he/she never imagined they would reach.
Do not let the scarf hold you back. Do not let a mere headscarf stand in your way to greatness. Do not let a mere headscarf keep you from being loved or loving. Do not let it keep you from family and friends. Do not give it the power to control your destiny. Reclaim it. Reclaim you.
Tomorrow I might wear a scarf. Not the invisible scarf but the tangible one
and I will look beautiful.
