Im 24 i live in Iraq, I’m a total nerd and I’m a very interesting person who sees the best in everything even if its a burnt cake that’s not yet done on the inside.
I’m a women,I cook (beginner don’t be fooled),good food.
I have a lot of interests ranging from Captain American to Spock to Darth Vader. I’m in love with reading I cant imagine my life without books. I don’t watch that much TV anymore. I consider myself an O.K, artist though I’ve never shown my work to anyone,I love photography.I see beauty in the simplest things which comes in handy when your sketching a toilet (don’t ask, don’t tell :)). In this blog i hope to share the nicer things in Iraq, My life and in general, I hope that you will enjoy reading and seeing what I post and I hope I’m worth following.
Thank You,
Soad (sue-odd)

You are also a fabulous writer. Love your poetry!! 🙂
Thank you!! Its people like you that make my day!and I also enjoy reading your poetry,Eternity hit straight home for me!
I also can’t imagine a world or my life without Books.
It would be a place I would hate for sure.
I also never showed my work or my writing or my Poems to anyone until last week when I made my blog….I know it’s an extremely hard thing to do.
Worrying about if people will connect to it or even like it for that matter,I went through the same shyness and fear that you are currently experiencing.
A friend I met here on WordPress gave me a friendly nudge to write a poem and to publish it on here so the whole word could view it if they wanted to.
So far I have only written and published a handful of Poems but yesterday they got over 700 views and around 300 new visitors. My blog finally broke 1,000 views last night and it made me stop doubting myself and made me remove the fear from my mind.
You really should share your work with us! I will write a poem just for you! And I will write one about your art and re-blog your first piece so that my subscribers can see and enjoy it!
Coming from someone who was recently just going through the same thing…you can believe me when I say it will make you feel like a whole new person.
Then the world will open up to you like a new flower blooming in the spring,opportunity’s will present themselves to you and you will be able to to take your work to the next level when ever you are ready.
I hope this helps and I hope I get to see some or your art soon!
If you ever need a friend to talk to, or someone that will listen to you and not speak,just let you talk and get whatever is bothering you or currently plaguing your emotions off your chest just contact me.
Leave me a comment on my blog or you can email me if it’s something more private “Shane63090@gmail.com”
Hope to chat with you soon!
