I Am Not Against Religion, Just the Crimes Done In Its Name

over the past few weeks when going into town and the shops near me , I have seen a young muslim girl around my age shopping as well , she always stared at me , and I felt like I knew her from somewhere , and I realised we used to go to high school together , we werent in the same classes or social group , but over the few weeks when ive seen her , ive realised how much shes changed , she wears a hijab now which covers most of her face leaving only her eyes to view , I dont think its a burqua because it doesnt cover all her body , her eyes look really sad , shes always accompanied by a male , she seems nervous and quite . at school she was chatty , would always wear a lot of makeup , really beautiful makeup . I cant stop thinking about her and worrying about her despite the fact we barely knew each other .

I have a personal rule in my life. If I meet, or even just interact, with someone who looks sad, or uncomfortable or frightened, or who seems to have undergone a personality change in the direction of depression, I look into it. I don't wonder if something might be wrong, I check it out. If that person is in possible trouble, I consider it my business if that person is a member of the human race.

Maybe next time you see her, you could find an excuse to speak to her, ask if she is OK, maybe find a reason to arrange a social meeting (class reunion committee...?) Or give her your phone number. Let her know you like her and would be glad to hear from her. She might really need a friend.
