I don’t want to feel! I’m fearing the changes in life that are inevitable. I want to be brave with a nonchalant shrug and a smile on my face.        I don’t want to be drowned in a river of irrelevancy-       That may be only apparent to me in my thought’s captivity.       I want to be content with what I have- feeling no need to compete.          I don’t want to let life’s struggles drag and flail me as they see fit.         Becoming someone unrecognizable to myself.         I want to have strength to show myself that I can be tough. But nights like these where silent tears roll~ I’m frozen in the same spot as life’s failure tease without mercy or control.

I don’t want to feel! I’m fearing the changes in life that are inevitable.

Sometimes I find myself comparing my life to that of friends and family members, but I need to realize that - that is comparing apples to oranges; we all are on a different journey through life. Mish aza- I don’t want in colloquial Arabic.
