An Emirati speaker pushes back on judgment based on appearance, saying religion is private and cultural expectations don't define you. Your brain is like tofu: whatever you marinate it in, it becomes.
When people look at me, I'm emirati, she has 68 tattoos. She's not covered. Where is the religion? Where is the culture? Where is that? First of all, religion is between me and God. God doesn't have any secretaries or advocates on earth for them to judge me or tell me whether I'm going to hell or heaven. I love that line. That's it. Second thing is culture, society, expectation. I am a soul with a human experience. This is a dress. If you don't like my dress, that's your problem, not mine. I am who I am. I only have people in my life that love me for who I am and for my authenticity. I. My priority right now is mental health. Friends. I've went on, like, a diet. I cut out everyone. Bad. I went on a diet with, like, the stuff I watch, the stuff I read, the stuff I listen to. Even if there are songs that I feel like that are not good for me, I don't listen to them. So it's like my mind is my priority. This tofu is not going to be marinated in shit anymore. I love that. So remember this. The brain is like tofu. Whatever you marinate it in, it becomes. So make sure you're marinating it in something that's tasty.
