If I could have been any other thing in life, I would have been a mermaid living under the calm blue waters of the Red Sea. I would spend my days swimming through the silence of the reefs and warming my body by the sun's kiss. But, I wasn't born a mermaid, so I just get lost in my own little world of dreams. Scuba diving takes me to a place of pure bliss and my imagination takes over but after I've gone too deep, reality sets in. I am 27 and I always thought it would be neat to marry someone with the same birthday. I'm a dreamer to the Nth degree and I often fall into my mind, which can sometimes be my own enemy. I think a lot and over analyze everything. I can be alone just as easily as I can be with anyone. I have grown up Palestinian-American, living my life in the US and conforming to the life style of my family in the Middle East during most summers. Never really feeling like I belonged in either country, I planned on marrying an Italian and moving to Italy... one can only dream, right? I always fill my time with travels to places afar. It is the most amazing sensation to awaken in a strange place. I believe one has never really lived and a person can't possibly understand life if they have never left their comfort zone. I love going to the airport and people watching. Fiona Apple and Q- Tip are my favorite lyricists. Underground hip-hop all day = my style. Their are only 2 seasons in the year: Summer and Football! I bring joy into any room and peace is the only way to live. These days are all about me and unfolding the steps to my destiny. And from now until then -----> I will do it in the comfort of my Reefs, torn up jeans and a fitted t-shirt. I love to eat Peanut butter, Nutella and gaucamole with a spoon and I never forget to order my side of calamari.

I am not materialistic, however, I do plan to live the life in which I have grown accustomed to. I love an afternoon nap with the windows open to let the summer breeze flow through. One of the best feelings in the world is being snuggled up in my bed when it's freezing outside. And the best moments in life is letting down my hair and diving into the ocean like a fish in the sea...
