I don't understand how people do not realize how amazing this is for the Egyptian people. This still makes me feel exhilarated and I am still on a quest to see who is behind this and why (besides the obvious reason).

"A child of Cleopatra" - Cleopatra speaks from within me

As always I wrote something, hide it in a closet with hundreds of other things and decided to share months later :) haha enjoy, I'd like to hear feedback if you read this!

"A child of Cleopatra: Cleopatra speaks from within me"

March 24, 2015 2:30 pm:

My parents are always telling me to not share my mind publicly. My mind and all it encompasses; thoughts, ideas, theories. 'Everyone already knows you're smart wa betfakary f Bhagat 3'areeba.' 'Betektby hagat 3al fb' they say, 'balash tekteby'. Making me feel weird for not being like other women. Not living of the obsession of material objects, and preparing my housewife skills. Sigh. I am not like the other girls and I do not want to be.

It's almost wrong, That I came out as in individual in constant pursuit of wisdom. That people, countries, cultures, books, experiences, ancient philosophy, and the theory of world systems fascinates me. It's ungirly. Unseen. Unattractive. Its unheard of in my ancient city of Alexandria. Ironic -

The women of Alexandria have been known to be exotic and unique in their own way for centuries. 'Banat Iskindriya', they say. That's a thing, and for a reason. The city itself has always been a beacon of history, arts, education and power. It's ironic because that makes my being simply a byproduct of my ecological location. Alexandria's women, are it's name. We are Pearls of the Mediterranean. The spirit of Queen Cleopatra was reborn through me and each and everyone one of us. Her courage, might, will and wit can be found in your soul. Just because present day society does not give you the space to be the daughter of Cleopatra that you are does not mean the space isn't there. And just because you realize you're lost and have become a product of society, does not mean you can no longer find your path and reach your destination. For the path is there, it's just waiting for you to step on it and take charge.

Don't let the negatives of our culture & society hold you back from ruling your kingdom once more. You were built to conquer and born to succeed. Create your space, and pursue what your soul desires. For Imagine how deprived your eyesight will be if you were trapped inside for months unable to see the beautiful sea along the cornish everyday. And imagine how numb your tongue would become if you could nolonger devour fresh fish and seafood from our ports. Now imagine what you have been doing to your soul all this time. Consciously or not. Let it breath. It's time to ignite the fire that won't burn out. Quit preoccupying your precious time with present day materials, gadgets and gossip. Make your way through the crowd and break free already.

The fact that my parents know their daughter is already and will becoming an even more powerful valuable woman, is not what they expected. But it is something in me that I cannot silence.

We are all children of Cleopatra.
