2011 Reflection Questions
I aimed to write a post reflecting 2011, however my darling little brother wanted to spend the last minutes of 2011 watching fireworks and to write letters to ourselves that we sealed in envelopes to read next New Years eve. However, whilst we were writing lists and doodling on paper we came across 20 questions to reflect on for the year that has just gone by, and since I found it rather...

The struggle of a birthday
I spent the whole day at a child’s birthday party where the birthday girl was spoilt with ever wish fulfilled, and good for her.
At the same time there was a child in Africa who probably took his last breath. Or a child in Palestine who just lost her father. Or a street child in India who’s about to get raped and has no idea. Or a baby in Pakistan who is being buried for being a girl...

Israel's Brutality
27th December is a deadly day. It is a colourless day, where silence is the scream of innocent Palestinians. At 11:30 am on 27 December 2007, without warning, Israeli forces began a bloody massacre on the Gaza Strip; Operation ‘Cast Lead’. It is stated the aim was to end rocket attacks into Israel by armed groups affiliated with Hamas. So, why were 400 innocent children killed? Why did it need...

I need to learn how to say thank you in different ways.
You peeps are too sweet, but the real inspiration lies in the struggle of Palestine, the strength of Africa and the sound of change. It lies in the tears of innocent children, the sacrifice of selfless fathers and the sleepless nights of widows.
Thank you all for your lovely compliments, God bless xo

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, “sunscreen” would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice NOW! Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your...

Experience is knowledge
This time last year I started doing something I have fallen in love with; writing. After coming home from the last day of university I sat down and created this blog. Now, of course I was fresh off the boat in regards to the blogging world so had no idea what I was doing, but I knew very well what my aim was. Seeing the lies mainstream news portray and the growth of corruption in politics, I...

What's the greatest non-material gift you've ever...
Christmas comes every year, and like headless chickens shoppers go around spending money on Ipads, cameras and DVDs. But what about the things that money can’t buy? What about the moments, people and places you’ve seen that you can’t put a price on? Next time you stand in the queues, stressing over whether your mum has got the latest Iphone for you, try and remember the...

Our fear is their reality
It’s unfortunate to know that while I was waking up out of my warm bed, innocent people died in Baghdad today.
At least 63 people have died and 176 people were wounded in 12 bombings across Baghdad. Windows were blown out, and glass was scattered everywhere. Some of us might have been complaining about waking up early, or complaining about doing notes for exams or crying for about not having milk...

Faces of Iraq's Suffering
Imagine going to sleep one night and waking up in a hospital with no sight. Imagine going out with your friends for a meal and not making it home without any legs. Imagine being in a country where your own home is not safe, and life is not determined. Iraq has been bombarded with car bombs, shootings, kidnappings, sectarian strife and generalised violence , all which have become part of daily...

Israel also freed 55 under-18s out of 164 Palestinian children in Israeli jails, according to recent figures from the UN agency UNICEF.
I don’t understand what these children are doing in a prison anyway, if they are under-18? Worst case scenario they shouted at an IDF soldier or were at a protest for Palestine. Does that make them eligible for the next years of their life in jail?
