I never really wished to “be” someone else, but at one point or another, I dreamt of doing something else with my life other than what I’m doing right now. I always had this crazy idea that I can sell all my belongings, buy a ticket and travel anywhere in the world, where I would work my way to the next ticket and the next destination and so on.

I’m sure we’ve all said to ourselves at some stage “I wish I was like, so and so…” But then I remember the words of my wise sister telling me when I was younger, “to wish you were someone else is a waste of the person you truly are - Dahlia”, and as I grew older I learned that - Everybody is, in fact - somebody… It’s easy in life to occasionally lose faith and hope; but we’re not cut from cookie cutters, our lives are hypothetically, destined to
be different. We are not all alike, and our paths will continue to take us in different directions. So, I learned to celebrate me, by not wasting the person I am. There is a plan for each and every one of us, so let’s not waste a moment!

So many times, although I know in my mind that I always want to be me. I know myself so well, and it would be painful to never find out what happened to that ambitious, conversational girl… Since everything in, and around me has been crafted by myself. All the dreams and goals I want to achieve, I want to find out where they wind up. To shut the book knowing that I have done everything I could to make these hopes become real.

Get away :) It’s a simple explanation of how I would describe some moments. Ahraaaaaab is more likely to happen, when responsibilities kick in, hours get shorter, and people talking loud,
things are not done on time, that’s a perfect moment for me to say the famous word: UFFF, close my eyes and run away! The crazy moments happen every now and then; I look at someone who is never worried and always happy and think he’s either fake or irresponsible! And it gets to me sometimes that I feel I need to get away easily, I need to run away and go to a place… happy, quiet or different - any place! Reality is a stinky weapon that can defeat us easily if managed to get under our skin, running away is a useful tool to re-energize, re-coop and get back. Venting and running away are simple methods of implementing that. My ideal place (as crazy as it may sounds) a child-friendly place where I can get pampered, you think you want to get away very much, that when you actually get a chance you back out! If I am working 24/7 as a full time mom, I still can’t get away from my babiesJ let them have my fun and I lay down with a book, not worrying about house chores and similar stuff.And as Frankie said: “Come fly with me, come fly come fly away”.

Yes and No. Yes, I wish I could get away but as myself… Somehow escape from this generation I am living in and live in the 70’s where the streets of Cairo where empty, everyone in the streets looked elegant and trendy. The time where women could walk in the streets without being harassed, the maximum would be to hear a whistle from an admirer. It was the time where all women looked pretty in mini skirts, mini dresses and platforms. The era of crazy hair- dos when women changed wigs every day. The time where Egypt was not as populated and crowded as it is now.
