Expectations

“A miracle happened today, mom”. She opened her eyes wide and looked at me in expectation, hoping I am going to tell her I met him. An opportunity at work. I don’t need to carry your expectations I can barely handle my own.

It was bigger than me

 I used to make bags for my friends in high school. I remember how it felt to see my creation been carried by others. I was 18 and I knew this is what I wanted to do in life- But I was scared. I wasn’t brave enough to follow my dreams. A degree after a degree and a “normal job” Immediately after- But I guess it was bigger than me. Because I am here today.

Pay for peace of mind or fight for justice

I don’t like to argue but I don’t like been fooled either. I had proof but no one listened- And I gave up. I wanted this opportunity and so I paid- I could argue, I could threaten, I could make a few more calls but- What would be the price. Sleepless nights, stress and constant thinking? Should I pay for peace of mind or fight, in all cause, for justice?

I guess we see what we are looking for



People do care, people do listen and there are good people around us- even though something I question it. A nice lady offering clothes to one of the guys cleaning the street corner. A young man bringing food to a homeless guy- Those nice gestures made me feel good, hopeful and smile. I guess we see what we are looking for.

Work with what I have got


I broke my phone, my computer needs a fix but I am trying to learn how to manage with the things I have got. I mean, I can buy another computer and a brand new phone but I don’t have to. If I can learn how to work with what I have got- I will always be OK.

Working on the weekends



I love working on the weekend. Usually, I am here by myself. I have the whole space to myself; it is quiet, I can put some music out load, I can drink both coffee and tea at the same time. But I think it is mostly because I am doing progress while others are not. For now. 

It is not where you sit- It’s with whom

It is not where you sit- It’s with whom. We used to sit next to each other in school for a whole year. She is 10 years younger than me but smarter. My little baby sister. We were sitting on a bench in the middle of nowhere, laughing, reminiscing and all I could think of was- It doesn’t matter where you sit, it’s with whom. A good company, who uplifts you, who educates you and makes you smile- that is what friendship is all about. And it is priceless.
