The Descriptive Word

The word “Description” is defined as
- a spoken or written account of a person, object, or event.
- a type or class of people or things.

From young, we are thought to describe what we see- what shape or color is a flower. What sounds a horse makes? And how does your friend look like? What color is her hair?

Young to old, I have been through it too. I am going to speak mostly for myself here, I have heard many a different descriptions about myself. I shall give you a little background, for example, of who I believe I am - I am an opinionated woman, and I don’t belief in being “adult and serious” all the time. I prefer getting into mischievous , quirky drama and having a good laugh as I watch life’s lemons miss me. Today is today, let tomorrow figure itself out. Hop on a horse and  ride the wind!(unless..you don’t actually know how to ride)

I am not sure how, but these words(I swear on my horse) has been used to describe my character:
opinionated – “difficult”
Kidder – “childish”
Mischievous, quirky, creative or a little emotional as women sometimes are – “dramatic” (and not in the good way)
laughing at lemons – “mental distress”
Today is today, let tomorrow figure itself out – “indecisive”
Asking people to hop on a horse – “mad”

Though, I’ll probably agree with the last one..

I am not entirely certain why it is so difficult for some, but I think it is important to acknowledge someone’s positive traits and respect that we are all different . For example  I  have also been said to be creative, friendly, bubbly, and a confident person. 

There, now that wasn’t so hard, was it?

Speaking on the 2nd definition of description, recently, I have even heard of a man being described as Dark, with a class lower than another persons’. I do not think the definition should be taken so figuratively, and it’s downright rude to describe someone using their color, earning , race, religion or “caste”. In the eyes of THE HE, every person is created equal(maybe some with more brainpower), and nothing I have mentioned in the previous sentence can define a person’s behavior or good heart. Don’t believe me? Just look up Osama’s family background. His father came from a poor family but he worked hard to come up in his life and became one of the most rich non-royal in modern Saudi. Rich, fair, and almost Royal – is not the words the world would use to describe Bin Laden Junior.

So the next time someone describes to me something in such a negative manner, tell you what. I am turn to them and tell them to hop on a horse, and ride right into hell.

Age is but a number

If I could put it in one word what my birthday this year made me feel, it would be Thankful. I keep hearing about people who didn’t have a single wish on their birthday and those who just spent their day playing games and eating whatsnots in the fridge.

I am not saying that’s a very bad way to spend your birthday, but I am going be honest with you here. My birthday has always been a time of reflection for me, and I would always remember the things I have gained and lost. And sometimes, what has been lost tends to take precedence over my emotions. I am firstly thankful for my sister who is the wind the pushes me out of such a low state when it happens.

I am also thankful for a couple of other things. I have a friend who wished me at exactly the time the clocked changed the days to April 3rd ( G- it was your thought that counts, and  thanks for the Pijja)   I have family, friends and colleagues who made it a point to go out there and not only buy me gifts  but ensure that I have cake and  lunch and cake and coffee and dinner and more cake..and well, just generally a nice day.

And I have a wonderful partner who allowed me to spend time by the beach with a wonderful new dress, and dinner and drinks, and not just that, had so many more surprises for me to the extent I was overwhelmed. (By the way- I won that Volleyball match!)

So I know guys, this one’s a short post. But I wanted to put it in writing as a THANK YOU for everyone that has been so wonderful and generous for my little day. They say friends are what makes the world go round, and the one’s I have makes my world Rock while rounding.( you get my meaning la)

And a big big big HUGE thank you to my Pbear. You are the best surprise that life could have ever given me.
