I woke up at 4am. Yesterday it was 3am.
I don't mind. It is peaceful though the silence somtimes is heavier and as unbearable as noise is.
I moved to new apartment and I can't find my way in the kitchen yet. I actually moved to new city and don't know my way around yet.
It is weird writing here I thought of starting new blog somewhere else but it didn't make sence to me anymore. I felt that I needed my privacy back. I do need my privacy back but there is nothing I can do about it and starting some other place will not change what had happened.
It hurt so much when overnight my parents had to leave the house in Dec 2006 I cried for a month for the house I love and didn't think that I will ever leave, I always felt it was mine and I will grow old and die there. It is one thing to leave and another thing to be forced out of your house.
Because my family believe that I can't handle bad news well they kept me in the dark after the house issue. I had to know by chance that my cousin died. There is a lot I still don't know even after the horrible things they finally told me last spring and summer. Our house was a weapons' storage and was used as operation base for a while by .... By who? ... By what we call in Iraq "them". It took me several minutes to process the idea that where I lived is where death orders were sent or where people died. I always thought of walls as memories savors, I thought I could touch those walls anytime and feel the good times, see images and hear sounds stored there among those briks. Now other things are there too.
it hit me after a while when my mom was telling me and I panicked "mom! Did they break into my room?" what a stupid question
"dear, they didn't need to break doors" mom said " it was already broken by americans and the army. All windows were broken either by army or explosions"
" did they use my room, did they touch my stuff"
" how are you thinking" she was absolutly right how was I thinking " every thing was broken and turned up side down... Books were all over the place torn and....."
"mom! My papers.. My notes my diaries.. The two boxes.. Did you really leave them there"
"oh!! They are fine" like she realized she spoke more than she should have. And I was suppose to believe my mom telling me that in all this mess when my books were all over the place they didn't touch two boxes of notes and papers underneath. How was she thinking?
When I was 14 I decided to write more. I decided to write everything with a no boundry rule.. Stupid idea I got from reading too much. I thought that I needed to be strong enough to face my thoughts amd look at myself on a peace of paper. I was brave to do just that I was foolish to do just that. There was a day were I wrote 17 pages. I was smart enough in colege to envent my own charachters to write but it was slow and annoying. I wrote less and less with time. I burned little whenever I had a chance but still there was a lot left behind.
I know this for a year now and it still hurt. Still bothers me each time I want to write. They could know more than enough I left a trace of every step in those boxes even photos. They could easily be reading my blog, if they can read English, hope not.
It is almost 7 I have to go to work soon. I was writing in bed in the dark with a not so smart phone that usually changes my words and I do enough on my own mixing letters. This phone sometimes changes too much it has oneday changed my sister's name when I was writing to her into some word that means pee and I did not even notice.
