1. My first experience at…. being Stood-Up.

    I waited from 11:39am when I woke up to 9:30pm when I found out by a friend what had happened.

    I was invited to something and stood-up. I was told that there “was no room” even though the car could fit 5 people and a bicycle. I was left alone, sitting in my room with an outfit prepared and cell phone by my side, waiting for the text or call that would signal my actions.

    But all I recieved was silence. Complete and utter silence. I thought something had happened and maybe I was just overreacting. Until I found out, of course. I was ditched by the person who I trusted the most in this whole world, my supposed ‘brother’, and a friend that I’ve known since freshman year.

    Now begins the phase where I give up.

  2. “THE REVOLUTION LIVES!” :D

  3. "I’ll make you mine. Someday."
    Houssem <3
  4. Such a screw up.

    Why do I have to mess up everything? Why is that no matter how much I try to find time just to be alone with Houssem, I make him mad? There’s only a month of time left. A MONTH. And what do I do? I get nagged at by my boyfriend for trying to bend the rules. Like, I don’t think I’ve ever been so embarrassed in…a while. The shame that washed over me was otherworldly. But what else am I supposed to do or feel? Am I the only one who feels like every minute is 1 minute less? That every passing moment will soon be a memory stringed across the Atlantic? All I wanted was some time to just hear his laugh and kiss his soft lips. And instead I end up upsetting him to the point where he has to lecture me on how to follow my mother’s rules. Tonight was supposed to be a good night, and it ended horribly. I apologized to my mom and ended up crying harder than I have in a long time. All of the guilt and worry that’s been bottling up inside of me…burst. My difficulty with grades, my moving situation, my sister’s baby situation, my anxiety with college, the fact that Houssem is leaving in a month, and that all of it is going to climax around the same time has had me on EDGE. I don’t even know what to do anymore. (sigh) 

  5. hi :) i'm not from the middle east as you requested but i'm from Tunisia ( arab & muslim ) if that what you're looking for, you should feel free to message me sometime

    Aww, that’s epic :D Tunisia is awesome! Do you want my email??

  6. I want to have a teen pen pal from the Middle East :’(

    I love writing and making people smile and laugh. Being able to write someone would be amazing, and the Middle Eastern culture is so amazing to me. Not only that, but with all of the current issues going on, getting someone’s actual outlook would be amazing compared to what the media feeds me.

About me

Hey! I'm PrettyRily and this is my blog :)
I'm known to be loud, jubilant, and overly-imaginative. My dream is to work in the Middle East as an ambassador and make a difference. I'm extremely empathetic and feel for people I don't even know. I'm protective and supportive. I love learning and the little things in life. I prefer to love than fight, but I'll fight for what I love. Someday, I WILL leave my mark in this world.
