Introduction

Dear readers of Heartless Words,

This is where I start sharing my thoughts and experiences. It is very important for everyone to have a written record of the thoughts and experiences ones living... I am starting this blog upon a special request from a special person. I have noticed that I started writing a lot, especially after two dramatic changes in my life. 

First dramatic change was an eye opener for me. I was a normal high schooler in Kuwait, a very small country in the middle east and is a part of the GCC counties, when I was just a 15 year old high schooler, I was informed that I got accepted in becoming a foreign exchange student in the US, and become a member of the YES family. Youth Exchange & Study (YES): is a program funded by the US department of state that gives mostly Muslim high school students the opportunity to study a whole year in the states. I'm not going to get into this now, but you can read about the program on their website  (http://yesprograms.org/).

The second dramatic change in my life is meeting a special person. Sadly I can not say anything about that person, but I can tell parts of my story with that person. Let us call him/her cookie. I met cookie on my last three days of being an exchange student. We actually met in D.C. Looking back to it, I regret every second not spending time with cookie, but I did not know what I know now. Two days past, and I did not know what he/she was trying to do, but on the third day we started bonding. Cookie saw something in me that no-one else saw. I don't know what cookie saw in me, not even now... Anyways, when the time came to say goodbye we didn't get the chance to, it was sad, but we kept in touch even after we arrived in our hometowns. We started talking more and more until I started writing. I started writing down what came to my mind and soul. Cookie was and still is willing to read what I write, and then he/she suggested that I start a blog, and now I have.

Furthermore, I wish that you enjoy what you are going to read, and that I keep on writing and publishing. I do enjoy writing, so I'll try not to stop. I would also like to thank Cookie for the support. I would like to thank anyone who was involved in the two dramatic changes in my life, and also thank my friends that stood by my side while I faced all kinds of challenges.

I would like to leave you with this... Always stand firm with what you believe in. Work hard and make yourself who you want to be rather than shadowing someone else's dream. Lastly, Don't let the world change your smile, but let your smile change the world.
