Legacy

Well ladies and Gentlemen, I am having one of those best week ever…Well let me see, I don’t think I could ever say with absolute certainty because I don’t remember much of the past and don’t know anything about future…But at this moment of time, this week is a good week, and I am thankful for that…Often we worry about not having enough time to everything, but when you really sit down and think about, how many days of your own life span do you remember?…I have experienced changes these last few days which really taught me things about myself and what I want in life…And I wanted to say I am thankful for the experience and glad of what it taught me about myself…Till next time, bee bye Khadra

Last night, as I was watching an episode of Law and Order, a thought occurred to me…I wonder if my insurance covers a visit to a psychiatric doctor?…Trust me I am not a person that bottles things up inside as a matter of a fact I talk too much or anyone I know would say so…It’s just that at times depending on those people you know and regularly speak to your conversation gets limited and I feel stifled…There are certain things I can’t talk to about certain people, maybe cause they wouldn’t get it or they would take it the wrong way…There is something interesting for me to speak with someone who doesn’t know anything about you and therefore you would be free to let sides of you not expressed before to come out…I am also fascinated by how a person of that profession would conduct their study into ones’ psychs…what are the questions to ask? what are the words to listen for? how to get someone to open to you?…I mean I learned from my own personal experience ones doesn’t talk to two people in the same manner to get results, you have to adjust yourself to the other person’s speed in order to get to know things about them…Who psychiatrist determines what is the best approach? is it instinctive and profiled in a very detailed manner before your first session?…If I was to have one super power it would have been the ability to read people’s mind although i see often those who have those power on TV tend to go crazy and live reclusive lifestyles…Maybe I wanted the ability to read the minds of only those I wanted to know what they were thinking of and not everyone…Thinking of it now, I think that’s why I talk too much, because I want the people to know what I am thinking no filtered no hold backs of any kind…But as I got older and my circle of acquaintances began to dwindle, my range of conversation begins to change too…And maybe it is that very reason which makes me today wonder why not go to psychiatrist and see where it leads!….Khadra

Recently my sister, two friends, and I went to Las Vegas for Spring break…It wasn’t planned destination, as a matter of fact we were considering Atlanta, as a destination for our spring break…it was the first spring break we actually got away all of us, we always had either work or school obligations to keep us inbound during the week off…But as my sister searched we saw las Vegas package with a reasonable price and we thought great something different to do…Well having my mom give us concent to go for 4 days to las Vegas wasn’t difficult as one would anticipate for Somali parent…The it was a whole different story for everyone else we told our plans too…Responses ranging from “oh nice joke” to “what would you do there” or “it’s sin city”…But Las Vegas is much more than that as we learned from our trip…One must go there with an open mind and clear idea of what they want to do…I mean yeah you can sit at a slot machine for hours and gamble, but there are other choices too…We walked down the las vegas strip and saw New York, Egypt, Paris, and Italy…And it was amazing, it was like walking into a different world from one block to another…We saw fantastic water shows and a definite must see for anyone who visit Vegas…We saw architectural beauties and phenomenal scence and took a ride on a gondela while in italy…It was one of those trip for life and we shouldn’t judge book by it’s cover or in this case a city by it’s reputation…Khadra

I am an impulsive person by nature, been working on curbing my enthusiasm, but hasn’t yet succeeded in it…But seriously what was I thinking when i was signing up for blog…oh i remember, my friend shafi’s blog, which by the way is still going strong…You know i felt i had things to say and finally i have a place to say them, but now after the first initial rush, my life is either running for boring and slow or I just don’t work well having things i think i want…I mean i think i know the purpose of me writing this piece, I am hoping by some miracle, I would inspire myself to come here daily and post things…Maybe the issue is that I don’t look at my life as analytically as much as when I was younger…Maybe life is zooming by me too fast and I can’t catch glimpses of things i used to notice before…Or is it that I am afraid if i reflect too much I might see things I don’t like about myself!…I have always been my harshest critic, many people are too, but i have always hoped I can improve myself at any give time if I have the desire…So hopefully i would change my lazy-writing attitude and utilize this blog i created for myself….Khadra
