Sometimes I am in a totally different place. I am lost in my own thoughts and for a second I feel like I am somewhere else. Has this ever happened to you? When you wish to be elsewhere and you keep thinking and thinking until you are lost! Or you look at a picture of your vacation and you want so much to be there.

If you ask me I would say that I love Iran. Because I was born and raised there,because it was where I took my first step,said the first word and saw life for the first time.My memories are hidden in every street and every corner. My laughter is recorded in our house. The sound of every step is recorded and I can hear it even now. Noises,the cars,the construction of a building right infront of us. I can close my eyes and see myself walking on that same street of ours,to the same door,to the same brown house with the basement. I can walk up those steps again,reach the first floor and knock on my uncle’s door.Then I can walk to the second floor and then the third,ours. I can go in,there is a mirror right infront and a long carpet. I can call my sister and brother and they’ll come.
I love Iran because it is where I first learned to see how life is,its steepness and its hills.How to live with others and not hate them because of their looks,try to be friendly even if dislike them. I saw life in a different way that it is now,I never imagined someday I would end up here. I never thought that one day I would have to leave everything behind. I never thought that I would pack everything and just go. I never thought of being miles and miles away. But now that I am here and now that I am ready to live here,I can go on, I have to go on.

When you feel afraid of your surroundings,your own thoughts,other’s comments and thoughts,there is nothing left for you but despair.
You feel you want to be free from the words,you don’t want to hear anything,see anything,know anything.Even your own thoughts and imaginations that lead you to despair. You are suddenly afraid of your own being,afraid of your every step,every word,every little movement.You think every person around you is watching you,you can’t move,you feel like nothing. You are nothing to anyone,anything.But then a sudden spark comes to your brain and you are out of the nightmare.

I was staring at the clock almost the whole time in Chemistry class. Though it was not responding to my commands! My mind was on that clock.Which took a very small piece of the classroom but at the same time it was the most important thing in there,which made it look bigger. I was hoping it would move faster and faster but it was taking its time,laughing at me! It finally reached 2:05 and the bell rang.

I saw on the t.v screen the world trade center standing tall
A moment later I saw a plane coming by
It hit the building so suddenly,that i didnot have time to realize
At first i didn’t get what happened
It was like a movie,a sight so amazing
Then I realized what was going on
I still couldnot believe my eyes
After everything became clear, it was so sad to think it through
The people in the plane,the ones inside the building…
It was a day no one will forget

I just talked to my cousin on the phone. Oh it’s so nice to hear someone’s voice after such a long time. I haven’t seen her in 3 years.
I miss her very much,that’s why a letter or a phone call from her makes me so happy!
