The Cairo Gyro

the excitement, enjoyment, frustration, and food that comes with living and learning in egypt

C.A.I.R.O = Can Alia Improve Remarkably Overall?

Bismillah,

Sure, everybody has room for improvement. You know the distance between here and the ex-planet Pluto? Yeah, that’s kind of the space my ‘room for improvement’ could take up. I’ve learned sometimes when you want to change your life you need to go somewhere where you can make it happen. Remember the story of the man who killed 100 people and then wanted to repent so he traveled out toward a new village where he hoped his repentance would be accepted? Notice how he left in hopes of improving himself somewhere new and different. Environment undoubtedly has a huge effect on who we allow ourselves to be and I think it’s about time I try a change of environment for a while.

This is the beginning of my journey to Egypt. Let’s hope by the end of it I’ll be a better person. Insha’Allah.
