forever young / i wanna be / forever young..

Wednesday, January 02, 2008
In 2007 I..
  • lost something meaningful
  • left a burning city and now watch it burn again from afar
  • loved and lost
  • left home to live in a completely new country
  • learned how to cook
  • floated in the Dead Sea, waded in the Red Sea, and looked beyond to the lights of Jerusalem and Eilat
  • befriended some absolutely amazing individuals who I want to have in my life forever
  • worked harder, longer and with more determination than before
  • felt the shock and disbelief of my mother dying all over again. May God rest Benazir Bhutto's soul in peace
  • saw New Year fireworks from Taba and Aqaba, and the first sunrise of 2008 on the Aqaba beach
There are so many more things I want to write but I feel renewed after finally getting proper sleep in weeks last night, and I don't want to dwell on the past. I want to be...forever young

(Thanks Heidi for playing the song on the beach and getting it stuck in my head again!)
