Redefine yourself
Awesome article by Arwa Damon http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/03/13/iraq.teen/index.html
The line that touched my heart:
"Teenage bravado? Perhaps. Or maybe, like so many other everyday Iraqis, she has been forced to redefine the parameters of "normal" in order to survive. "

What really gets me about this? I "redefine the parameters of normal" every day of my life. And it is so inconsequential compared. I am a very spoiled American. I can't imagine the lives that so many other people are living. I hope I come back as a cat. In America.
