Woke up on Friday the 29th, 2023 feeling nostalgic missing home and wanting an American breakfast, so my sister and I decided to go to IHOP in Cairo Festival City. The place is full of colors, yet I can only see two everything else feels dull and blurry.
This is my sister Rowida drinking coffee to survive the day. She’s my comfort person and the one I rely on. I can’t see her properly, but I can feel her light and hear her voice.
I haven’t had a good breakfast in a while. The crisp of the hash browns and the fluffiness of the pancakes brought me so much joy. I felt happy and in the moment.
On our way to IKEA so my sister can film me for her assignment. I can feel the heat from the sun but it’s not as bright.
We went to warehouse in IKEA where my sister began filming me. This place makes me feel happy. Even though I can’t see all the colors, and nothing is clear. I remember the smell of the place it reminds me of my childhood.
On our way out the colors of this ball caught my attention, so we decided to buy it for my dog Mucho. We also got a lint roller to remove his hair from our clothes.
Before I head home, I wanted to go to the gym. Everything was distorted I can barley see the time elapsed. I wanted to go home a place I was familiar with a place I know I won't get hurt.
I finally reached home I ate some Asian food for dinner while I rewatch Gossip Girl for the fourth time. This rewatch was different. There was a haze as if my eyes were smudged. Something I wasn't used to seeing.
