a passion for something lost

Once upon a time.....

There once lived a girl with a passion so strong.. a passion for something lost..

She cut her hair, and as it grew, she dyed it a bright bright blue..

She wrote a lot, she shared a little.. There was nothing she couldn't do..

Enthusiastic she was, this girl, you see, she was always the lead in the race..

On her way, sometimes she would stray and walk at a different pace..

She let the world pass by her side.. And preached to people to lengthen their stride..

"Wake up" she was told "join the crowd".. "I won't" she said.. She was much too proud..



Today.....


She has once again joined the race.. She picked up her life along with her pace..

She knows much more than she did in the past.. I'm wondering now how long will it last??

Ranting... or just a load of mumbo jumbo..

Don't look at me like I am your mirror.. this is not your reflection..

I tell you this with all the love in the world, but, you need to get a life!


Don't put those on, they are mine, those shoes are not your own.. please find a path you carve yourself..

your foot-prints are too small for mine..


Don't pressure me, I'm busy.. I am!! I have so much work to do..

I tell you this with all the love in the world, but, I just can't put a smile on for you today!


I try to smile, and laugh sometimes.. sometimes it's just too much..


I am not sad, nor am I bitter.. I just need to be free!!!


I just need sometime with me..

I'll be back if you let me be gone

for just a bit....



p.s. replied to your comments on my older post.. sorry for the delay :)

It snowed in London :)

Yeah so, i've been away for a while!

I'm glad to say i'm still alive.. a different life maybe.. but it still exists..

What have i been up to?!! (wishful thinking that anyone would care to actually ask that haha)

well.. i went back to school.. i am doing another degree in communications with a bunch of 18,19 and maximum 20 year olds! i feel like a granny at uni but it's cool..

my closest friends have moved back to their countries! i thought my life would suck, but hey, guess what? it doesn't.. life goes on!

i've been so busy these days, which is good.. i have long days at uni, my family are here, AND surprisingly i've become more social.. there is much to do..

what else?! well.. i miss blogging, but i think i'm a bit rusty.. i need to find something to write about!!! haha

u know what.. i have an idea.. who ever is reading this.. if there is anyone out there.. ask me questions.. as many as u want.. and i will answer them in my next post!! how about that?!!

they can be questions about me.. general stuff that u just don't feel like researching lol.. or whatever.. won't be mentioning names (unless allowed to) and ummm.. guess that's it :)



it's funny u know.. i just wrote all that and suddenly it hit me.. i really have no idea who i'm talking to!! hmmm.. listen,, even if u don't want to ask a question, just leave a comment and say hello.. just so i don't feel like i'm alone over here lol..

looking forward to c what u've got to say..

EA meeting -Extremist Anonymous

“Hello.. I am a Saudi Liberal!!!

I believe in women's rights

I demand freedom of speech

Please express yourselves….”

(A man with a beard gets up to talk)

“Please shut him up, he is an ignorant fool who probably supports terrorism!!”

“Hello.. I am a Saudi Conservative!!!

I believe women exist to become good wives and mothers

I am all for religious hierarchy

I demand you hear MY voice

Please do as you are told…”

(Nobody gets up to talk)

“I knew the majority of the people supported me!!”

Will we ever be able to push ourselves away from the extremes?!!

Happy Eid

I hope you all have a great Eid.. tomorrow we are having our traditional Eid lunch in a non traditional setting since we are all away from home this Eid. We are going to have lunch at a nice garden restaurant here in London. My little nephew has decided he wants to wear a thobe for the occasion. And he asked his mum, aunts and grandmother all to wear hats (i'm not sure why) but i'm a big fan of hats so it'll be fun :)

What are your plans for Eid?!
