Why Blog?

Why speak your mind when you have the option of shutting up and suffering in peace?

To know why I am frustrated, angry and on the offensive all the time, I would like to share a few things about my life with you.

This is a quick review but I will disclose more in the days to come.

I have thought about it for a long period of time and like most other bloggers in Bahrain, I will choose to remain anonymous. It will give me more freedom to express my true feelings and opinions, without worrying whether I am politically correct or not.

In a nut shell: I am a total nutcase and I admit it. I thoroughly enjoy it - every second of it.

Born under the sign of the Libra, I have problems balancing right and wrong and living with injustice. I just can't accept seeing other people hurt.

The current condition in Bahrain is starting to have its toll on me: the double-standards, the hypocrisy and the fact that the kingdom claims it is a democracy when it isn't.

I may have strong views about certain issues, but all this is what makes me who I am!

Who am I anyway, some of you may wonder?

I am a Bahraini woman: young, professional, career-minded and dynamic. The only catch is that I am not available. My knight in shining armour has kidnapped me and we tied the knot more than a year ago. My family was happy when that finally happened and they thought that I would just calm down and be the silly little girl they have always wanted me to be.

Problem is I just can't be that.

I am not a machine which can be switched on and off. I am a human being with a brain ticking like a time-bomb on my shoulders.

Sometimes, I wish I was a silly little Barbie.

Sometimes, I wish I was born a retard.

Sometimes, I damn the day I was given access to education and an opportunity to work and grow in my career.

What's wrong with being a silly little girl ask myself?

Well, on this blog I will be just that. I will rave and rant and scream and yell and shout and be myself – both the silly and the serious.

Nothing will stop me... until the police come knocking on my door!
