There is no Palestine. It was Israel, then a province of Rome called Syria-Palestina, then a province of various Islamic caliphates, the most recent was the Beirut sanjaq of the Ottomans. Now it is lsrael again.

So a group of old men in the UN and Western students call it Palestine. So what? The Arabs and Copts don't even call it Palestine, they call it ''Shem''...as in ''Semites'' Funny that.

Turning away from the path I had been set on and continuously working to try and be happy and make those I love happy.

It sounds so cliché but it's very easy to spiral when set on a bad path at a young age, I am proud that I had and still possess the willpower to want more for myself and my little family when they came along.

I am proud of myself for choosing to love myself and allowing love into my life.

I don't know if I am proud of anything I've done, to be honest. I'm content with myself and my life choices but it's not the same as pride, is it? I have 2 amazing boys, but I can't take credit for that. You're supposed to look after and nurture your children and any pride I feel is for them and who they are, not for myself for producing them.
