Last night I stayed up till 5:30 am studying, and I woke up early too. So understandably, I felt like crap and looked terrible too. I couldn't be bothered to dress up for uni, so after having a bath I just wore the biggest black abaya I could find. (I love to hide in them lmbo), and put on a simple black hijaab, with some embroidery on the hems. Then I put some cream on my face and some kajal in my eyes but it didn't really do much for me - I looked as sleepy as I did when I woke up lol. Sighing at the mirror I walked a way knowing this was gonna be a bad hijab day lmbo. So feeling like a bum, I put my jacket on and I made my way to uni, and as I sat in class, pretending to listen, I thought of my friend, my sister (the one I wrote about before, whose dad had surgery). Realising that I haven't seen her in a week and a half, I texted her asking if she wants to go for a coffee, and she did. Even though I looked and felt like a complete mess, I still wanted to meet her, because I feel comfortable looking like crap in front of her. I don't feel that with many people. As I made my way out of uni, she was waiting for me on the opposite side of a major busy road. I told her to cross over (hoping she'd use the traffic lights) but instead she decided to cross the main road in the middle of nowhere like a crazy person lmbo. As she came near, she smiled and said "You look so pretty today, MashaAllah." I'm like, "What?!?!? NO, I DON'T!!!! I feel BEYOND yuck today!!!" She hugs me, and she says, "You look beautiful, you look like an Arabian Princess!!!" I was just speechless, in denial, but still speechless lol.

Lol. The beauty of an old friend is amazing. They truly love you for who you are, even when you look like crap, they find beauty in you. It's true what they say, "The best mirror is the eye of an old friend". I love her so much, Alhumdulilah for her.
