a blessing in disguise

i ventured out of my shell this week,i went crazy and decided to take my best friend to alexandria for the week end

we both needed,i am stressed coz of my long time illness (which i wont discuss) and coz of needing to heal emotionally and of needing to leave my toxic job

she needed coz she just broke up with a bf and just left her work so u can see we made the perfect company together

we planned on wednesday and left thursday morning in her car

alot of things happened,and not all of them were good but int hose two days i learned alot about my self and about my best friend......

i learned there is something about me that inspires sex,dont know how and why,i dont even consider myself sexy and i definitly dont dress provocativly but obviously there is something,what i learned was it is not something i want to change coz basically it's not my fault,why change something u didnt do,and am not even going to feel guilty anymore for men's shortcomings and misconceptions when it comes to sex

i also realized am way too sweet and i care way too much about other people's feeling forgetting my own

i have also realized that whenever god closed a door in my face he ALWAYS opened another one for me.i just never looked around.

when i was going through my past hurtful relationship i was so pissed off and hurt that i disregraded the fact that i just met her "that best friend" and believe me,she turned out to be perfect for me in every way,we finish each other sentences (which is hilarious at most times) and she doesnt mind when we fight to the extent of F words obly to laugh two minutes later and hug and kiss,

what really makes her what she is for me is the fact that she would never sell me out for fun or men,she would much rather drive around with me talking about nothing then going out with cute men and flirt,

she wouldnt mind hugging me tight and rocking me to sleep when am in so much pain "from the illness i wouldnt talk about"

she wouldnt mind losing 2 hours to get me showered and dressed up to the point of blow- drying my hair so that she could take me out at 3 am for a bit of night fun in alex,she wouldnt mind spending time with friends of mine i know she hates because she thought it would make me happy

dearest friend,u r trully my blessing in disguise and i appreciate u more and more every day, u have been my truly shining star even in the brightest of mornings,thank u for being u.

Hi there,

I have just read your blog from Australia (I'm a 27 year old woman researching Egypt as a holiday destination).

I just wanted to say that I thought you write very well and it was a pleasure to have an insight to the things that you are experiencing and thinking and feeling in your part of the world.

No doubt we exist in very different social landscapes, but it's the similarities that are most profound. Men are the same the world over and generous as we are, I think it's important that we set boundaries as to what is ok and not ok for ourselves.

No one should stay with someone and accept less than reciprocal behaviour. I say, treat others as you wish to be treated. I suspect that guy's gf is probably out creating deeper emotional connections elsewhere (or at least she should be)!

I work in television and produce a show about singles so your rhetoric about phone calls etc really rings true (excuse the pun *ring* :)

No doubt you have seen Sex In the City / Carrie Bradshaw / I'm not sure what they have called it in your country. Can I suggest that you consider writing something similar for your local media (if there's an audience for it). Market your skills - you appear to be sufficiently savvy to do so.

Best wishes from Sydney, Australia.
