"A star from Mosul"

Najma's post explains perfectly what I miss most about being home in Libya. Nothing like a house of family, friends, and neighbors coming and going. Hospitality is not just cultural, it's an art. The more people coming, the more successful you know you are at making people feel perfectly at home in your own.
I miss that environment more than I can express in words.

Why are you not living in Libya if you miss your family that much?

I ask myself that all the time. I was here for university, which I just finished. I'm working on it, though. My ambitions are a little more than I can achieve in Libya right now.

Hey there Larry.. welcome to my blog. Thanks for the comment and the energy.
Yes, both Ani and Morrison. Masters of the word that I can only wish to come close to. From what I read on your blog, I see you're heading in that direction too. Good luck yo'.
