Day 1888: To Paris With Love From South Africa

There is a small percentage of the world’s population that is the definition of evil– that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s  12 :  17  PM on day 1898 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Romans 5, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, learn one new thing –Sentient [sen·tient] adj. Characterized by sensation and consciousness. Able to perceive or feel things: “Sentient life forms.”–  have breakfast,  work on my future project and help mom wrap Christmas presents for my current local project.

 

Yesterday morning I awoke to the news of the Paris Attacks needless to say I was (and still am) shocked and heartbroken I can’t wrap my head around the fact that a group of “people” came together to intentionally inflict pain on other human beings I could live to be a thousand and I still won’t understand. I would like to express my deepest condolences to the people of Paris please know that you are not alone the world mourns with you and strongly condemns these barbaric acts of violence.

 

Also to the people of Syria and Lebanon please know that your suffering is not forgotten I hope and I pray that one day all who are from Syria and Lebanon can return home and live in peace.  

Day 190

The whole is more than the sum of its parts. – Aristotle

It’s 10: 31  PM on day 190 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours – no luck –  feed myself rice and curry for lunch,  tweet about my campaign some more – still no luck 🙁  – feed myself Chapati – an unleavened flatbread – filled with salad and mutton gravy and watch TV.

 Several people – my mother included –  have told me that I am wise beyond my years and although that this is true to a certain extent I think that they have forgotten that I am just a nineteen soon-to-be twenty-year-old girl trying to find my place in the world with that said I would like to take this moment to introduce you to all aspects of me – from my favourite music, movies and books to my greatest hopes, fears and future travel destinations  – like me or leave me I don’t mind either way 🙂

Nisha: The Human Being


I hope to:

  • Learn how to do things by myself
  • Become an author
  • Buy a house
  • Travel the world

 

I am afraid of:

  • Public speaking
  • Rejection
  • The possibility of having to live with my parents for the rest of my life
