5 things before you die....................Alyonushka -
Please take my advise...before you shed another tear, before you throw away a dream, before you get on a plane back home, please read this book: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It took me one day to read it...actually just a few hours, and I continue to read it every day. I am a female stand up comic...not exactly culture shock but pretty close. I've tried throwing in the towel many times. I've shed many tears, worked STUPID jobs (janitor at an auto mall, scrubbing urinals...not fun), lived off of pancakes for months, and seen many of my colleagues not do so well in comedy and get depressed and isolated, turning to drugs, etc. You made a big step and statement by moving out here...resistance doesn't want you to be happy...you'll see what I mean once you've read the book. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll send it to you. Trust me on this one. Profound words are not clever. Clever words are not profound. -Verse 81 of the Tao Te Ching
Bless you Aly! I'm glad you're getting the chance to experience the states. "When in doubt, tell the truth."
Mark Twain
Before I croak, I wish to
1. Tricke irrigate the plants (It may take days to discover the body, who knows...) 2. Tidy the house (you mean everyday!) 3. Get ready to party (at last!) 4. Apply make-up (Ugh! macabre!) 5. Make a will (if I have assets, not if I have liabilities) - Last edited by mav on Sat Sep 10, 2005 10:06 pm, edited 1 time in total.
I think my problem is that there is not a lot left that I want to do.
If it's traumatic or tragic it's happened to me. And some really fun things,too. I would like to have kids and I think that's one thing life is going to deny me. "When in doubt, tell the truth."

The thing is to do all the things you want to do then have kid(s). Then you never have to say ..What if...
I have a son and he is the greatest gift. He has an autisitc disorder and I had to dedicate my life to him and put my life aside. But even when I think about the 5 things I would like to do all that comes to my mind is to make sure he has a good life.
1/ pray a lot & be a real religious
2/ go to pilgrimage with my husband & family 3/be really gud with my parents & give them back some of their favours on me 4/ get married with a great man a real one & get beautiful creative kids 5/ make a real big effect in science to be another gud Muslim Egyptian if there was 6/ i would like to go out in a day with(family,brothers,friends,husband ,husband& kids) every one in a diffrenent day "failure taught me that failure is not the end unless u give it up"
