Imagine…

I left work early yesterday, and I drove past college, I reflected on some past events…des souvenirs!Those days when I used to catch the bus to either go to my ESL classes or to work.

Places I’ve been to for the first time, food I ate for the first time, people stared at me for a long time…with their mouths hanged to the floor. I had to look behind me to see if something strange was back there. Yes, I’m Arab and I live in the south.

Guys who thought that I was pretty and wanted to discover…hell no! I’m not a doll!

And Matt…he was my friend, and I miss him. We had a lot of things in common. Except, I was an idiot and didn’t know how to keep Matt. I’ve never reached out to him until maybe couple years ago…no response! I don’t blame him.

I’m old fashioned and I live in the past!

I drove past the bell tower and I said “Hi Matt!”

College Kids were crossing the street and it took me forever to get to the highway. I kept driving then I completely zoned out! I didn’t remember how I got home. That was scary! I was day dreaming while driving!

Sometimes, I feel like my life is spinning around like a carousel, my emotions are the horses…going up and down…and the music is always playing in my head.

No I’m not crazy! I’m just an anxious mom, going through some normal stress.

But then I remember that I made it through a lot of difficulties without help. Just like Alex Honnold, climbing rocks without a rope. No fear, no doubt to lose or give up.

I do not lose hope, and I will never give up on my dreams.

I keep my dreams hanged on the clouds…and hopefully…one day…

My kids are my happiness! I live and breathe for them. I have to be strong, and the greatest gift I can give them is my time, my love, and my attention.

Time is flying…we should live the moment and enjoy it. Everyday is a day to be happy!
