Arab Fathers In Denial

There are some blogs that I've come across over the past few months which I try and read every now and then. One of these is a blog written by a self-labelled "Cynical Single Kuwaiti Woman", which is entertaining, amusing and thought provoking.
I had to laugh when I read her most recent post today... was she writing about my life?? I guess most Arab fathers have the same attitude when it comes to their little girls being all 'grown up'!

On The Eve Of Something

i awoke this morning with this tingling of anticipation running up and down my spine, gushing through my veins and sending waves of apprehension crashing through my ears, my muscles pulsating to the rhythm of expectation. expectation of something looming on the horizon. an event so grand in scale and proportion, its importance and worth immeasurable at this moment in time.
what it is, i don't know. what i do know is that something is about to happen. i can feel it in my bones. feel it in my very soul. its a knowledge gleaned from sources i cannot even imagine. its a preparation over which i have no control. a change i am about to undergo. good or bad, i cannot even begin to predict. i shall have to wait; wait and see. or wait and feel. wait and know. wait and understand. wait to realise what already the universe knows.
