La Verita
I am a half kuwaiti/half american girl living in Kuwait.
I am perpetually suspended in the granite hollow that fills the space between two worlds...
Not quite who I am, not quite who I want to be... Cat-lover, poet, music-nut.
I currently hold a PHD in both BS and Smartass. In short, I pitch my tent in the median of life..

Why...?
Let's go down to the water's edge,
and we can cast away those doubts...
Some things are better left unsaid,
but they still turn me inside out....
* Why is compassion such a scarce commodity these days? Is it a matter of my own awareness? Or have humans, collectively, begun to lose their sense of compassion?
Where has the empathy gone? And why is it all coming down to apathy instead?
* Why did my life get to this point? In this way? Where was the wrong turn? Is it even my fault?
* Why is the outside a complete 180 from what's inside?
* Why don't people see me the way I see myself? Am I really that intimidating?
* Why do I get the feeling that nothing really matters? That its all a zero-sum game... and none of us can really ever win?
* Why couldn't I have you? ... Or someone remarkably like you?
* Why is it that when I'm sitting in a restaurant or cafe' and my eyes suddenly lock onto a guy, he stops short... looking like a deer caught in the headlights..?
When will I look into the eyes of a man and know that he's strong enough to catch me?
---------------------------------------------------------
I beginning to realize how uncomfortable I am with the concept of infinity... Its scaring the shit out of me. The concept is haunting me, telling me that no matter how hard I run, no matter how many times I switch things up... It'll always be there.. That victory belongs to it and it alone.

Infinity is definately scarey...but then again...nothing lasts forever...who the hell knows...but I'll tell you one thing...you are one hot babe and you're entitled to wonder who will be strong enough...if he comes great...if he doesn't...you'll know that you are blessed with being who you are....and that's all that matters...:)...
Is it time for some girl power?
I LOVE NOVEMBER RAIN!
Hey ms. curiosity
is it true what they've been saying about you ? ;)
1. People are compassionate.. they just haven't found anything worth being compassionate about.
3.Your life is fine, its everything else that has gone wrong.
4.If the outside was the inside .. then what would be the point of having both?
5. Its the whip .. people are afraid of whips.
And don't look at infinity .. all your doing is looking at the end(or lack of it); Look at now, and enjoy it.
DR> ur a girl! :P I don't tend to intimidate girls! ;)
misscosmo> the definition of infinity is that it lasts forever ;) thanx for the vote of confidence, but I can't bear the thought of who I am being my only consolation... (Wow.. I can't believe I typed that, but its true so I'm leaving it)
ktheK> I'm looking for love this time.. sounding hopeful but its making me cry :)
Aren't we all ...
http://k.thekuwaiti.com/index.php/2006/03/19/looking-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places/
when its all gone a lil wonky ( shameless plug :P) theres usually nothing nicer than an ice cold coffee and a nice view.
never mind infinity, youve got forever to figure that one out :P
shit happens, but its up to you to outlast it to figure out why said shit happened, and in most cases, its always well worth the struggle.
:D
ktheK> Read it and I completely sympathize :)
skunk> typical optimist! :P are u a virgo?
7> You can not pre-emtively strike down an MHMMMM! You must wait for the mhhmmmm and then come up with the appropriate response! :P
tinkerbell> nice ;)
* Why is compassion such a scarce commodity these days? Is it a matter of my own awareness? Or have humans, collectively, begun to lose their sense of compassion?
You're comparing these days to which ones in particular? Childhood? Well obviously we grow out of our bubble and realise the world is different place as to how we perceived it through a childs eyes. Nothing has changed.
Where has the empathy gone? And why is it all coming down to apathy instead?
See above. Now the difference is that we get fiscally compensated for the shit we have to swallow
* Why did my life get to this point? In this way? Where was the wrong turn? Is it even my fault?
Nah, dont fret, once again, see above. Its a natural progression. Prozac, alcohol and tobacco usually help. For the less daring there is caffeine.
* Why is the outside a complete 180 from what's inside?
Because its not the inside, duh.
* Why don't people see me the way I see myself? Am I really that intimidating?
Very rarely do individuals get true insight into others. Even after years of marriage things change - hence 50% divorce rates becoming the norm.
* Why do I get the feeling that nothing really matters? That its all a zero-sum game... and none of us can really ever win?
Ah, interesting. Depends what winning is for you. Identify your goals/objecives, then plot your course of action. Logic helps.
* Why couldn't I have you? ... Or someone remarkably like you?
I dont know - Because I'm taken by work and the tobacco giants?
* Why is it that when I'm sitting in a restaurant or cafe' and my eyes suddenly lock onto a guy, he stops short... looking like a deer caught in the headlights..?
Well maybe you're giving him dodgy looks.
When will I look into the eyes of a man and know that he's strong enough to catch me?
Depends how far you plan on falling. Men are overrated, take it from a man :D(no sexual innuendos here thank you very much)
I am bad company at times like this as I tend to echo all of your sentiments. :(
Distractions. I pray for constant distractions.
entre'
I think I'll take a lesson from The Book of Genesis, Love, War & Life are (by definition) unfair.
skunk> more like "alls unfair in love and war"...
UE> Distractions are good.... but so few these days...
