"This is my hijab story. I'm afraid to tell it. Afraid of what people will think of me. You see, for me, wearing hijab wasn't all blooming roses and rainbows and inner peace. It was blood and tears and a nafs raging and rebelling. It was the hardest thing I ever did for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I pray it was sincerely for His sake, that He may accept it from me, otherwise all this hardship will be in vain."
