Who is the smartest of all? Who is the prettiest of all?
Oh please! Be serious! Does this really matter? Isn’t having individual differences enough?
Why can’t we accept who we are instead of trying so hard to be like others?
We are individuals seeking uniqueness. We are not competing, we are not racing, we are simply looking for our true identity. We cannot change our brains, we cannot change anything that has already been decided by God. We HAVE to accept ourselves otherwise we’ll never be satisfied. Never. We can change our minds though, think deeper, but we are still we. All of us have different talents, different ideas, that makes us unique. And accepting ourselves is a challenge and there is simply no other choice.
Optimist or Pessimist?
Are you an optimist-one who sees life beautifully with the acception of its ugly sides and with a positive outlook?, or a pessimist-one who sees life just as a big disaster with no way to get out?
Well if you are an optimist good for you! Life is not just a big disaster which you have fallen into. It can be so good if you keep that good and positive atitude. It will be difficult at times but let’s face it, nothing is easy.
Now if you are a pessimist, you need to look on the positive side. If you can learn how to ignore the ugly sides of life or can deal with it, you’ll be fine. The thing about being a pessimist is you won’t get to enjoy what you have for as long as you breath. We only get to live once in this so called disaster of yours, only once and that’s it. Trust me you don’t want to be like this until you’re 80.
Now if you think there is an after life… then I don’t know!
Sleep
Before I can close my eyes,
I think of what tomorrow does
another mystery, yet another pause.
Or what if tomorrow never comes?
As I’m ready to fall asleep
worries are gathered around my brain
having a feast of their own,
my desire for a new start slowly fades.
My eyes are now tightly shut
I have said good-bye to my finished day
soon I will have a dream,
from everything that has ever happened,
brightly in a gleam.
Life
Sitting on a piece of wood,
staring out in the fog,
I’m going through my childhood.
When I was a little girl,
growing up in the city of Tehran,
I didn’t know what life was.
As I grew older and saw the faces,
I realized it was just a fuzz.
Faces told me different things
emotions mixed with thoughts
Had no clue what life brings.
Crossing the Atlantic,
I moved to a different life
Faces changed along with dreams
I no longer knew who I was.
Time was flying fast,
memories were no longer near
the world was turning in full blast.
A new year, A new life?
When a new year arrives, we tend to pretend we want to change things, ourselves and our lives. But then we forget again and leave it off to the next year. We make plans to do good things and get out of our bad habits, eat more healthy food rather than junk food, help more people, and all sorts of things. Some of them we might actually do, but others are forgotten as always. Whenever we can, we try to find different excuses to do things later rather than now. We don’t know that later is really right now!
Diversity
One of the things I like about America is diversity. When poeple from all over the world walk around us everyday we get a good feeling.
A feeling of being different but yet important. We get to know their feelings and they get to know ours. We try to help them recover from their pasts and they try to help us understand how they have suffered among millions of others. If there was no diversity we would be trapped in stupidity and selfishness. We would feel too good, having a lot of freedom while others don’t even no what freedom means. Most of us have had those feelings before coming to this society, we must not forget them, if we do, we won’t know how the other part of the world suffers.
Hidden
What is hidden beneath those eyes who watch me every day? What is hidden beneath those faces? Is there a secret? A question?
An answer? Do I see them or their faces? Is there more beneath a person’s eye?
I don’t know any of them and they don’t know me. But I know that every one of them has a story and every one of them is searching for their identity.
Florida
We were on the roads for the longest time. The first stop was Charlotte, North Carolina. What a city! With the most beautiful houses I have ever seen. Mostly rich people. Even the shops that we have here were fancier over there. We slept in our friend’s house and hit the roads again next morning. Our destiny:Orlando, Florida. We made it and found our hotel.
Disney World:Epcot
Our first day was spent at one of Disney’s parks called Epcot. A very huge park with lots and lots of people. A very beautiful park (I will use Beautiful a lot). We visited some of its rides which were mostly educational. Forexample: The energy of the Universe, starting Bill Nye and Ellen. It was fun, you bet!
Disney World:Magic Kingdom
Our third day was at the other park of Disney, Magic Kingdom, where you meet your favorite Disney charactors! It was twice as crowded as Epcot. The weather was good, sunny and nice. Although at night it was very very cold! I think I had more fun in Magic Kingdom. At 8:00 PM there was a parade, very cool! And at 9:00 was fireworks, awesome!
Orlando Itself
Orlando was a very nice and peaceful city which reminded me of an island in Iran called Kish. The cool part about Orlando were the Palm trees. So you get the point, it was a very nice place to stay at for Christmas vacation. We did expect it to be very hot but it wasn’t!
Cool!
Right now I am in Orlando,Florida, in an Apple computer store! Cool!
Trip
We will be gone tomorrow, to Orlando, Florida. I am so excited! It will be our first visit. I will write about it when we come back next Wednesday.
