I am from the sound of the waves splashing on the shore and shells you find in the soft wet sand.

I am from a teacher that puts classic music every single morning except for weekends, from a wrestling sister that’s hits me every single day and night even on holidays and my birthday and from the barking dogs when the doorbell rings. I am from the land of candy delicious soft and tasty, from “YARA DO YOUR HOMEWORK NOW”, from a shouting maid, from vomiting mashed potato on my mom.

I am from Dubai, from falling snow and from cloudy skies.

I am from ringing bells at seven o’clock, from sleeping at my grandma’s house when I am sick and from an angry sister.
