I keep thinking but nothing strikes my mind. I have run out of ideas. I have run out of thoughts. Is that possible? To run out of thoughts? The world is full of things to think about, full of ideas, yet I’m sitting here and I can’t think of anything.
Maybe I need to look around me. Maybe I need to discover something.
After four days of no school, I have found a time to write but nothing comes. It is Sunday. I never like Sundays but I never figured why.
It’s funny how when you come into a country so full of freedom, you forget that you actually have freedom. After a while you get used to it and it doesn’t seem all that great because it is there. That’s the bad thing about people, they easily forget how much they wanted to be somewhere and what their purpose was.
I have not forgotten my purpose.
Without a thought
That is so true, We dont realize how much freedom we have till we loose it. I am an iranian- american, And last summer for the first time i visited the country where most of my family is. I was there for almost three months. I couldnt believe what i saw, and lived. I mean, the people and the country it self are wonderful, its just the way of living with such lack of freedom of being, of expressing ur self. Its then when i realized, and learned how lucky we are to be in a free country. And its sad when i think about it, because then i wish i could share my freedom with the people back in Iran, but i cant. Only if others understood, then they wouldn’t take it for granted.
Dear Blue-Bird (don’t know what your name is, so I hope you don’t mind me referring to you as “BlueBird”,
You’re writing is beautiful… I have never had the chance to set foot on the land of my ancestors, and so I have never experienced such assaults on human freedom.. Though living in the United States or anywhere for that matter I have realized that there are two types of freedoms.. Freedoms guaranteed and provided for by a government.. And a freedom that can only be found by listening and trusting in your heart. I feel lost so often.. like I am in a sea of strangers.. I need to be somewhere else.. doing something different.. I’m realizing that most people around me who think they are free are actually prisoners to their own addictions, their own fears.. but I am a prisoner of my thoughts too, though I do not turn to drugs as an escape where most do.. I don’t know what’s happening to all of us… do you?
