Fighting Myself

Can you imagine living everyday feeling like you don’t belong? Like you don’t have a place in this world. Like everyone is against you. It can feel as if your trapped in your own mind.

Some don’t even want to get out of bed and don’t know how to make ourselves feel better, we’re hopeless and have no answer to why we feel so angry, tense or why we have a headache.

    It is the morning of July 4th, 2008: I groan as my mother gently whispers, “teneshi yene mar (Get up honey)”. Struggling I open my eyes and notice the trembling cabin, I turn to my mother with a look of concern and she reaches out her hand and squeezes my own looking up at me, “we are going to be okay Mar”. A couple of moments later our plane has landed, we gather up our belongings and make our way towards the exit filled with people attached to their screens and MP3 players. The airport is filled with an undercurrent of anticipation, impatience, and boredom; bodies scramble back and forth from one gate to another.
