I don't know what happened. I just popped in on July 16, 2004. I also use to have blue eyes. But now they're a yellowish-green which is just odd but fascinating. Especially due to the fact It's a recessive gene.

I went to Kindergarten, my first year of school ever. Ya already know I was bussin. Seriously 5 year old me went crazy. This pic is from the end of the year.
-
I still remember my first memories of Palestine. I was born there but that doesn't mean much now since I can't remember anything for the 5 months I was born there. But in Kindergarten I visited for the first time with an actual semi-functioning brain. I remember it being so fun. I loved it so much I even forgot English when I came back to the states. It was nice seeing all my family and I really started to build connections I cherish to this day that summer.
-
I still associate myself with stuff from my childhood. And Pokemon to this day is my favorite franchise. Nothing to say just that if there was a human and the entire pokemon franchise at the edge of the cliff you shouldn't ask me who I'd save. My love dated back to when I was 6.
-
No, it wasn't just everything else that defined my childhood. Well, I really only posted Galaxy 2 and Pokemon as that defining stunt. But it's the DS and Wii too. Yeah, I was a Nintendo kid. If you weren't I feel bad. Like cool, you had a PS3? Tell me when the last time you wanted to replay a game from it was. Exactly it just doesn't have that impact.
-
I like the game Mario Galaxy 2. Who doesn't. That's all. (on a serious note it's just something I love so much
-
I have 3 siblings, 1 brother, and 2 sisters. I'm just going to mention my sisters as I actually had a functioning brain during that time. And god she changed my whole life. I feel like I have a lot more responsibility ever since she was born. I love my siblings to death and she helped me realize how much they all mean to me. She was born on Friday the 13th though so proceed with caution.

God I was like 9 and I still hold this summer break so close to my heart. My whole family well the ones in America at the time got together practically the whole summer. Even the ones in Pennsylvania who I never get to see. It's funny I was 9 and the only boy who wasn't 18 from my cousins but I still remember every bit of it being a blast. Sadly cant find pictures so here's more of 5 year old me.

Okay, I'm running out of ideas. I may not be as unique as I once thought. This project is making me realize how one dimensional I really am. Anyway, I like comics! See it's not just Japan that would consider me worthless trash who delves into fiction it's America too! And the one big reason? I like DC more than Marvel. This was my final slide SO YAY.
-
I like anime, shocker isn't it? Not like I wasn't open about it. Anime, manga, and anything of the sort means so much to me as a person and to my identity. It's my safe space. I love witnessing these stories unfold into beautiful fleshed out worlds with thrilling writing, phenomenal casts, gorgeous visuals, and beautiful Soundtracks. I can obviously get this in regular television or books but I feel as if the quality to quantity ratio is different. And western fiction is nowhere near as unique.

I was mad. I wanted to name her Maya. I like the name, Maya. I'm the one who named my other sister (Sophia). But we decided to name her Joudy. And I'm happy we did. It fits her perfectly.

2016 was a big year. I found anime, got into middle school, and I found my first group of friends that were real. It was changing. I found people I consider family and in some regards still do. I don't talk to them as much as I use to as I have more family here now and I now have 2 groups of friends but they'll always mean so much to me. I was an awkward shy kid with a lot of anger issues. But with them, I was an awkward shy kid with a lot of anger issues who had a group I considered family.

No, I'm not a fake fan. Yes, I listened to him before he died. Yes, it's a tad basic. Yes, I still listen to his music. No, not as frequently as before as he used to be the only artist I listened to. Actually, he was the first person I followed as an artist waiting for every song he'd release. It was a fun year. Yes, I started listening to him in 2017. Does that ruin my credibility? Maybe. That's for you to decide really.

SO I went to Taft. Wonder if I'm doing good. Oh hey, Mr. Gianettos goes to Taft too. As a teacher though. Hi Mr. G. I hope I do a great job during my 4 years here. I really need to the best I can my family struggles enough. College would be too hard for all 4 kids so they're relying on me to do good for at least some sort of scholarship.
-
Y'all know I had to do it to em . So I went with an actual brain. before was semi-functioning so I remember it but this time was me knowing Arabic, traveling the city by myself, going to parties, and celebrating.
-
So I previously mentioned another group. Here it is. This is also my family. I got a rather big one thinking about it.
-
It took 15 years but my dad successfully got a visa for my aunt and uncles. Not all of them but 2 did move here. And my lives changed ever since. It has its pros and cons but overall I'm happy they moved here. My family here just keeps getting bigger. The one holding the phone and the one in the white tee successfully moved here. And there's my dad who spent his whole life trying for them in the green shirt.

Another thing from Japan. No, I don't dislike western fiction I just haven't seen anything near as beautifully written. Hell, I've seen Breaking Bad and admit it's objectively better than my favorite show. But if you tell me Breaking Bad is better than Attack on Titan I'll respect your opinion as it's not a bad one but I'd also disagree. Anyways A Silent Voice is about a deaf girl who use to be bullied and now her childhood bully our protagonist is trying his best to fix his past. It's beautiful

So this show means so much to me. It's a short 11 episode drama about a girl who wishes to go to heaven. She died when she was 10 and her friend group all blamed themselves for her death. Each character goes through grief in a different but realistic way. It honestly helped me deal with so much learning about the different outcomes. I cry every time I hear its soundtrack as it is so stunningly memorable and beautiful. I think I've spoken on anime being my safe space. And this show showed me how.
-
This was my first anime ever watched. But it didn't strike me as anything near a masterpiece. 4 years later 2 more seasons dropped and it seemed like one. So I decided to pick it up and read its manga. It is in my opinion from the hundreds of pieces of fiction I've ever seen. The best. It somehow sets itself for an apocalyptic world but goes into different secrets with astounding world-building. It has created something so simple into a political, methodical beautifully written story. Eren goat.
