So far this has been the best Ramadan i've ever had! I'm really, really, really close to getting back into the faith again. Reading through my Qur'an, fasting, and prayer has really been putting me at ease.

The shaytan (devil) is locked up right now (and for the remainder of this month) hence why you feel that you're becoming closer to Islam. Make the most of this month whilst it is locked up and come back to the faith.

Damn, never knew about interpretation.
Hijab is really big were I'm from so I don't think my fam would agree with my opinion on it.
How do you feel about the niqab? Personally, me and my family think it's a complete abomination where Saudi culture leaked into islam.
I give you two examples of Muslim countries.
Saudi Arabia: must wear hijab
Jordan: don't have to wear hijab
The difference being Saudi Arabia is governed religiously by a mis-interpreted and unethically implemented form of 'sharia', whereby they enforce such rules to subjugate the masses.
Jordan is a parliamentary monarchy granted, but it still has more of a Western influence therefore allows freedom of practice of religion without being too imposing and pretending to have all the answers.
That's why some cultural practices appear to be LAW and obligations rather than just practices out of choice and habit.
Saudi culture and that of the Arabian Peninsula has completely ruined things, has tainted Islam, which is ironic because it serves as the central home to Islam.
As I said, the Qur'an says to dress modest, of course there must be level of interpretations to what that means. God knows your true intention if you try to play around with words and find loopholes versus being genuine about trying to make your own understanding of what is required.
However as it pertains to the word 'hijab', well it does not refer to dress code. It refers to what I was talking about earlier. For example, Qur'an 7:46:
وَبَيۡنَهُمَا حِجَابٌۚ وَعَلَى الۡاَعۡرَافِ رِجَالٌ يَّعۡرِفُوۡنَ كُلًّاۢ بِسِيۡمٰٮهُمۡ ۚ وَنَادَوۡا اَصۡحٰبَ الۡجَـنَّةِ اَنۡ سَلٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ
لَمۡ يَدۡخُلُوۡهَا وَهُمۡ يَطۡمَعُوۡنَ
The word in bold is 'hijabon', (basically hijab), and this refers to what's called a partition, which is a structure that divides something into two parts. Here it is in reference to dividing the believers from the unbelievers, especially those who try to tempt others to stray from the straight path.
The word 'hijab' does NOT refer to the wearing of a headscarf, so what does that tell you when gulf Arabs try to enforce this rule? Is it for the bettering of self-respect for women? Or is it to gain a measure of control over the masses, particularly the vulnerable?
The word of Allah has been interpreted in many ways. If it's meant to be taken literally or not is up for debate. Either way its up to mankind (women in this case) to decide if they want to wear it or not. It's between their creator and them and it should not be intervened by men nor forced up on.
@malcolmxxx_45 ask your local Imam about hooking you up with a single Muslim woman. Imams are the best Islamic matchmakers

It is meant to be taken literally except I'm just pointing out the root of a word that today is taken to mean something else. But yeah agree it is a personal decision.
I have to say that sometimes a woman in hijab has some kind of Noor about her that just radiates and makes her more beautiful then a ton of make up could ever do for her.
5 star post breh.
