Missing years of educating

I have missed few schooling years due to the war in Iraq.. the first time was in 2006 when we moved to Syria. We received threats, therefore my sister and I left school for a year. Then we moved to Syria.

I guess it is normal for all of us Iraq’s the fact that we missed few schooling years here and there, I mean to think about it is not a big deal at all. I used get upset for being the oldest in my class at the start it was difficult to make any friendships, but then things stared to get easier.

I studied up to year 7 in Syria then i came here. Most of my good friends in Syria that am still in touch with, actually younger than me.. they were born in 2000! But they are the ones I go to when I’m having a bad day.. While my time with them, I saw how they got a big  mind and their own independent opinions, but of course they are underestimated by adults.

War On Terror: Was it a fair war?

2003: we will free Iraqi people from Saddam “that what they said ”
We will send our army to fight for you “that what they said”
We will take Saddam down & “that what they said” 🙂
more and more of this bullshit.. And ya ofc the news/ media has supported that! “America has sent their defence force to free the Iraqi people from the criminal Saddam) =)
“Yes we can’t deny Saddam wasn’t the best president for Iraq,”But was it really for our best?

Dear Baghdad

How does it feel being homesick

It’s like there’s no right quote and no perfect words your hand can write or use to describe that feeling!
Even YOU your self can’t explain it!
It’s a hole inside of you which you can’t see or find it but you do know it’s existed, you do feel it in there ..
You feel the air leaking into it.. As it keep trying to full that empty space inside of you!
It is just some kinda of unexplainable feeling. You feel it each day as it keeps growing inside of you!
You DO NOT have any control on it! It just keep growing and growing! It keeps killing you day after day as you face your reality..
You WILL NEVER come back there! That crucial possibilities of you might even die here without even coming back!

Karada Booming 3rd of July 2016

For the last week, I been chocked, confused and lost, I cried as I felt the agony for those young men who died in the Karada booming! I couldn’t put my words together, my thoughts  were all over the place, I couldn’t sleep or think probably.

Just how did that happen?!
Is it for real?! Is what happening right now for real? or is it just a dram?!

“Please.. please tell me it’s a dream, this can not be happening now! at least not in the last days of the holy month of Ramadan just few days before Eid Al-Fitr ..!!”
