Where I come from, missing it today..





This is the Midwest USA.  My true home.  On days like today, when I pass by security check points, see riot police by the road side with guns loaded ready to shoot whoever moves, I think back to where I came from and wonder just how crazy am I??  Nothing beats the serenity of peace and calm like my hometown.  Changing fall colors, apple picking, sunsets and carving pumpkins...ahhhh, those were nice times.

Well, at least here I get to experience full blown riots and crazy people trying to take down the government.  The sweet smell of tear gas in the air sure beats the smell of crisp Autumn breezes..........LOOOL

  3. Assalamu Aleykum,

    MashALLAH what a peaceful place indeed.I have spent quite a lot of time in Palestine, and I remember sometimes the tension and war and feelings of being jailed were so intense and hardly bearable, but everytime I would go back to France, I would get those mixed feelings, happy to be far from the shootings and checkpoints but somehow missing it.Sounds like a kind of "Stockholm syndrom" lol.
    I believe no one can ever be the same after going through such experiences.ALLAH SWT has written you would be in that place at that very moment for a reason and there is Khair in it.

    Lot of love
