What have we learned?

Image
During my last trip to abudhabi I had some alone time which is not a usual for me when Im abroad. But being alone and doing things all by myself has taught me a couple of things about myself and my likes and dislikes: 1. I'm old when I'm alone 2. I'm not a lone traveler 3.I'm very emotionally dependent on my husband and kid 4. I can cry so easily when it comes to family even if I'm in public 5. My mind keeps on repeating words that make me nostalgic... As if I'm yearning for tears. 6. Childhood songs are painful when you listen to them away from loved ones 7. I can never move away from my family. 8. Travel is all about companionship. 9. People can have a completely different side to them when they are far from their home town. 10. I try to deny it to myself but I sometimes care about what people think of me. Especially if I feel misunderstood. I try so hard to correct the misconception to the point of actually making the person infront me feel that I

Make Me Better

Everytime I feel bad about something I talk myself out of it. I look for the brighter side... I look for the excuse that made what I want not come my way... I cry it out... Bottom line..I talk to myself. But feelings are sometimes just new... They are ugly you don't wanna even name them with their real names. You don't wanna believe that you could actually feel this way. I start searching in my head for things that will disperse the thoughts that bring these feelings... But logic just melts. It's like you're reading through a book looking for answers quickly and someone keeps on pouring water over your head to keep you cold and wet and with a blurry sight that keeps you from reading on. Do i need some alone time? To focus on the "reading"? Or do I need to get busy to get my mind off thinking? It feels sick to leave the feeling inside without breaking it down and dissolving it to something comprehendible and bearable. Which brings me to wonder... W

Be someone's hero

How grand is it to have some one look up at you and feel "Wooow..she's my my hero." What would you do if someone is always looking out for you.. following you..wants to be like you. Someone who feels that you are the one person that will keep you safe from harm and will fly you out of your dispairs. I see it. I recently saw it in a little girl looking up at her older sister as if she's miss glamour...miss perfect. She checks if her sister has something before she gets her own... Her food..her toy...her gift. "Where's my sisters thing?" She doesn't enjoy her toy if she doesn't make sure theres one for her superwoman. Now the question is... If I am the hero of that little sister of mine... What would I do? If it was me... I would wanna be that person she really sees. I would wanna be superoman. Now how can someone miss on such an opportunity. The opportunity of influencing someone's life like that. How would you miss on making a positive

Close...

Close...close as can be. How close are we. My sister...my friend. ..my secret bearer... my confider... We guess...we assume...we think we are close.. yet we arent. How close can u be to some one so far... close enough to share intimate details... to feel their pain and jump for their joy. NOW THATS CLOSE! It's no distance that keeps u close.... its how conected u are inside. How trusting and bonded without words. We are so apart... so close and yet so broken away... and its so sad..to assume that id still be that person u talk to...and then find out how wrong i was...how wrong i am. How wrooong!

Bassis wedding invite

From Tuscany, Italy... To Holland Netherlands, From mountain high venues... to open beach sands. She dragged me with her... to look everywhere, For the perfect landscape... or the lights of northern air. I ran at her tail... i slumbered on benches, I thought i should bail... but my thirst she quenches... For the zest of this life... and the adventures that rhyme, For sharing my dreams... with my partner in crime. So i sat her down slowly... and held her shoulders tight, I was standing my ground... and i threatened to bite. But amid my trials... of making things clear, She uttered the words... i lost hope to hear. "Elrahman el raheem"... on the 5th of June, From 5 to 6... is that too soon?. With all her ideas... from here to there, Did she really settle for cairos air??? My mouth fell in wonder... and i forgot to breath, And i thought her decision would set me at ease. Instead my looks... had set her a flew, and i ran after her not sure what ill do. And ever
