ONE conversation

It took me one msn chat, with an old 'friend', to realize that it's been a really long time for me to hear what I call now SILLY stories.

There was a timewhen I used to enjoy them, not because they were entertaining, but because there was nothing else to do.

Now i feel extremely disgusted. And it makes me wonder, will those people ever grow up!? Like seriously!

I no longer feel disappointed when people whom I once called 'friends' act in an unacceptable way.. I don't even think about it, especially now with being this far.. so many things have happened in my life that I can hardly find anything in common! Our lives have changed in all the different ways.. this is what I thought.

But it seems that mine have changed, while they are still holding tight to that same old shallow life..

And i am realizing that the circle of people I miss and care for is getting smaller with time.. that it just includes family and few close friends. This does not only make my life smoother with less headaches, but it also makes me more caring and loving for those who are still there.. in the heart and mind.

Now more than ever, I look back and think.. how on earth did I think that I belonged there?!

* Couples = married/ or engaged

The first question that crosses my mind when I get a friend request from a friend that I haven’t seen in a while would be: where are you living, still in Amman?! Maybe It’s part of me wanting to know who shares the same experience.. etc, or how it is that life made us take different paths, and live in different parts of the world.. and it’s really shocking the amount of people whom I know and who no longer live in Amman!

To be remembered..

I got an e-mail from one of my colleagues, sending me kisses and hugs from one of the girls who was with me in a workshop in Germany.. and said that she mostly remembers my 6 pieces of baggage, which she helped me to pack before we left! It's funny, but I guess some things would never change.. so even for a two days trip I would still carry more than I need.. and I keep thinking 'JUST IN CASE'! The thing is that I don't use half as much as I take!

But you know what, I do believe that I would feel a thousand times worse if I needed something that was left home.. and thought 'I wish I didn't'! So better to have it all than to be sorry, though with the no more 'unlimited weight thing', this definitely shouldn't be the case. 6 pieces of baggage.. that makes me blush. Seriously!!! So it's not about anything that has to do with me or with the two weeks we spent there.. !!! How funny/ weird/ unexpected/ different/ odd is that !!!

watch out!!!

Watch out people!!!

Ammar is back.
