Sometimes i wish i had someone i could really relate too. Someone who's in the same boat that i am, someone who can understand how i feel. My best friend and i have grown apart; we've never been really close actually. The fact that i called him my best friend is because somehow his words seem to impact me harder than anyone else's. I do have my dimwits but everyone's so busy with their own lives, we only get to catch one every once in two months. I really wish i could talk to my brother but sometimes i feel like he would judge me (yes, my brother). Don't get me wrong again. I love my brother a million. But we're four years apart. And he said so himself that our tastes are different and sometimes we just don't 'click' very well on certain issues.

I always wished to have someone i can talk to about my hijab and how i feel. I told my mum a couple of times that i feel sad inside because i don't have close friends who put on the hijab. I feel like there's something that we all have to say about it. Sometimes we find it a trouble, yet we still do it for one reason. God. And a lot of things about religion that i want to talk about to someone. But i can't seem to find anyone right now. Maybe that's one of the reasons why i feel so empty.

But it's selfish don't you think? Wanting someone just so i can talk to them and share our experiences? ):

I hope i get to have a breather tomorrow. Movie marathon at Charis' place with their classmates plus Diy. To do that, i better finish up our Entrepreneurship group report and IB journal! DDD:
