What is a Feminist?

This quote today got me thinking… and honestly, I kinda agree with her.

“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is; I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.” ~ Dame Rebecca West

So what do you think? How would you describe a feminist?

What every girl should NOT do before 18

 Ok, so everybody knows that I’m not the best when it comes to follow rules :) , since I got tagged by Batoul, Wonders, and Oriental Arabesque, I decided to answer it … my way ;)

What you should NOT really do

1.Don’t get married:

The worst thing to do is to get married before the age of 18; girls are not mature (enough) to get married, and YOU CAN WAIT!!

2.Don’t dye your hair:

You’ll grow old and have A LOT of gray hair, you’ll get to a point when you wish you can take a break of it, do not damage you hair with these chemicals

3.Don’t put any makeup on:

There is nothing better than the natural beauty for little girls, you don’t really needs it in you teens, you’re suppose to have a great fresh skin, enjoy that.

4.Don’t fall in love:

Don’t break your heart too soon; you are better off without boys when you are a teen ;)

5.Do not quit school:

Don’t you ever, under ant circumstances quit school, finish Tawjeehi, and pick a major you like, and put a plan to yourself, DO NOT QUIT!!!

6.Do not get fat:

If you get fat in your early teens, you will NEVER be able to lose it, and even if you will, you will struggle keeping it down, make sure to watch your weight, have healthy habits when it comes to eating, it will affect you later in your life.

I’m not gonna tag anyone, as I noticed, most of the people are either tagged, or answered it already, but if you read this and feel like answering it, go ahead :)

ANYWHERE BUT HERE!

I remember when I was a little girl living in Kuwait how much I hated it there, I used to look forward for the summer so we can go to Jordan and spend the most beautiful 2 months of the whole year, and how much we hated the idea to go back to Kuwait again.

Few years later (1990 to be specific) we had to move like all the Jordanian/Palestinians had to move to Jordan. Everybody was sad except for us (the kids), we were so happy just because our dream came true, and we are actually staying in the country we love.

That didn’t last for long, I remember how much I cried on my first day of school, I HATED it, I started to cry for going back, it took me more than 8 years to actually like Jordan.

People around me knew how much I hated it, as a little kid, I used to be asked the same stupid question wherever I go “meen a7laaaaaaaaa, el Kuwait wella el ordon???” , my answer was ALWAYS “el Kuwait, and I get the same reply as well “ma enti konti tebki bedek teb2i feeha, halla2 batalat 7elweh??”.

As years passed by I started to get used to my life in Jordan, in fact I consider myself “terbayet” Jordan, but I always used to say it where ever I go ” I will leave this country one day, I’ll do my best to just leave, I’m sure my life in the states will be much better”

And I did, and I wish I didn’t, living in the states made me realize AGAIN how much I’m attached to Jordan, and how much I wish I can go back, but you know something.. I know for sure that the minute I go back, I’ll wish to leave again.

My question is, when are we gonna be happy with what we have? When are we gonna be happy wherever we go?

Bs as they always say : “The grass is always greener on the other side”

Why Do I Love You?

Why do I love you?

What tender thread bound my heart to yours?

You with your shields that bend so far without

breaking their hold on your love.

Why do I love you?

With all the pain that any relationship can bring?

With all the misunderstandings that can exit between

two people who are both scared and unsure.

Why do I love you?

Do you understand the true extent of the word?

It can mean so much or too little depending on the

ease with which a person speaks it.

Why do I love you?

Will I always be one step ahead of you?

Looking over my shoulder to see when and if

your spirit catches flight and joins mine.

Why do I love you?

Because of your spirit.

Because of your soul.

Because of who you are and what you will be.

Because of who I am when I’m with you.

Because of what we bring to each other.

Because….I just do.

And that may scare you as it sometimes does me….

But fears were made for conquering.

And this connection was made to last.

And given time and the star’s bright light…

I’ll prove this to you.

It’s Good To Be A Woman (Humor)

1. We got off the Titanic first.

2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

3. Taxis stop for us.

4. We don’t look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

5. No fashion faux pas we make could ever rival the Speedo.

6. We don’t have to pass gas to amuse ourselves.

7. We can congratulate our teammate without ever touching her rear end.

8. We have the ability to dress ourselves.

9. We can talk to the opposite sex without having to picture them naked.

10. If we marry someone 20 years younger, we are aware that we will look like an idiot.

11. We will never regret piercing our ears.

12. There are times when chocolate really can solve all your problems.

13. We can make comments about how silly men are in their presence because they aren’t listening anyway.

A Promise To You

When you’re weary of the world’s turmoil
and need a safe haven to rest
you can step into the warmth of my caring
and find sanctuary in me.

When confusion lines the path you walk
And causes you to question and doubt who you are,
you can find security in the depth of my understanding
and my vision of who you are and what good lies within you.

When you feel the world plots against you
I will always be there to show you the joy you can find.
When you feel no one is on your side
I’ll be there with my hand reaching out to you.

When we both are angry
I’ll always be ready to move ahead and let it go.
When it seems no one considers you
I’ll always try to let you know that I do.

And when it seems you fail to consider me,
I’ll try to remember that we
see things from different viewpoints,
and mine may not be the clearest vision.

When our needs and wants don’t correspond,
I’ll seek the compromise and not allow mine to overshadow yours.

When you need the space to find yourself again
I will try to step away and be here only from a distance.

When you’re ready to embrace the warmth
that two people who genuinely like each other bring,
I will be standing close by with arms that
offer a lover’s gentle embrace.

And when you think that there’s no security left
in this world, I’ll show you that it can be found
in two like hearts and spirits.
In friendship that glows with more.

When the heart sings and the spirit soars,
the music of life is complete.
I promise to always help you hear the music
and never miss the song.
