A Free Spirit

Recently a friend of mine labeled me as a “free spirit” person, and this isn’t the first time to hear that.

Yes I’m kinda of this label. I’m not selfish but I have been independent for long and I know how to do things because I want to do them.

Still I can’t function when I feel restricted. I don’t like when people, whether beloved ones or friends, or even coworker insist on me following certain rules to fit.

I hardly seek routine and that’s why I love waking up every morning, knowing that this day will be vastly different from the last.

People think because I don’t share much about my feelings that I do not have any worries. That’s not true, I worry a lot. But if something is not worth my time, I just move on. Life is short and I learnt that the harsh way.

YES I don’t mind being alone. I don’t even mind sitting at home on my own. I lived alone for many years and I loved my life.

Still I love having friends to hangout with but I don’t like that my relationships with others define me. In fact, I don’t really let anything define me. I know me, happy for being me, and I fought a lot to be that woman.

I like seeking ways to expand my mind, enjoy working with creative people because that inspires me a lot. I always want to be a better person in this missed up world.

In the end I can tell you I live my life without selling my soul to the devil. I had lots of good and bad experiences. I don’t just love. I love unconditionally, but I don’t mind if people drift away.

Damn, time flies! I have to leave office now and run, I’m gonna meet some old peeps haha! Then I’m so looking forward for my day off tomorrow. I will have a big lunch with a lovely friend and I can’t wait!!

XOXO

Dreaming of Spring

Spring in Sweden was like a dream. Lollll! After a sunny week, we are back to the cold, foggy and raining weather. Oh and next week will be marked by snow and bone-chilling temperatures.

Still Swedes do celebrate spring’s arrival when the median daily temperature is on the rise and remains between 0C and 10C for at least seven days in a row.

I thought that once they announce the arrival of spring, we will witness the not so hot, not so cold weather.

In other words, a LAGOM weather.

Lagom is a uniquely Swedish term that doesn’t have any literal translation in English but basically means ‘not too much, not too little”, Just the right amount, sufficient average.

Meh we will have to wait to see if the real spring will arrive or we will just skip that season from our calendar!!

Still I went shopping for a spring floral bouquet to lighten up my life 🙂

Dreaming of riding motorcycle indicates that you would be a part of the fun life rather than watching it like audience.

You can call it whatever, but YES, it is a mix of freedom, adventure, spiritual experience, confidence and independence.

Riding a motorcycle is no longer a boys’ club activity! Women are taking to motorcycles with an increased voracity, and I’m proud to say that Egyptian women are actually doing it now and lots of them confronted personal challenges, societal stereotypes, and cultural expectations to embrace the freedom and independence of motorcycling.

Check the Egypt Female Bikers the official female bikers community which aims to support all women riders in Egypt through education and community events and advices.

Believe me there is nothing like the rush I feel when I’m in control of a beautiful motorcycle.

At the age of 30 I got my motorcycle driving license. I wanted to tell myself that I can do anything, no matter what my age.

Now it is time to conquer the swedish streets and find how can I claim my license here. If you have any tips or hints, please throw it here 🙂

XOXO
