It is quite all right to be different, don’t be afraid of who you are stand up for what is right in life, believe me--it will take you far I am different from you, as you are different from me, but we both respect one another and live in unity Islam is my religion, it is what I believe in kindness, devotion to GOD, and always keeping away from sin Women in Islam are commanded to cover their beauty This is not oppression, it is a symbol of purity, modesty, and overall liberty. The amazing pearl of the sea, can easily be compared to me, The pearl you see is covered with a shell--just as I am covered happily but inside the shell, the beauty lies the same beauty that may be found in my eyes It is a struggle being different you see, trying to be accepted by everybody but if you accept yourself and believe in yourself you will not have worries about society It is quite all right to be different, don’t be afraid of who you are stand up for what is right in life, believe me it will take you far.
