My marriage to Soraya took place soon after our engagement because Baba was dying, so we did not have much time to plan the wedding. I made a Last Minute Wedding Planning board on Pinterest to organize my ideas.

As a child, I LOVED kite running. I once won a kite running competition and was the last kite standing! It brought honor to myself and my family, and Baba was really proud of me.

I am afraid to return home and see the places that remind me of when I was a child, and get reminded of how I treated Hassan. Also, Kabul is a very dangerous place to be right now and I have a family in America to think about.

I have always disliked how Hassan was treated more like Baba's son than I was. Now that I learned that Hassan was my half brother, I see how much he meant to Baba and how little he thought of me. It frustrated me that I was never the favorite.

I loathe the secrets about Hassan that I still hold on to. I hate how guilty I feel about destroying our relationship and sending him and his father away.

I long for forgiveness from Hassan after allowing Assef to rape him. I never will get this forgiveness because he waited too long and Hassan was killed.

When I write stories, I am able to escape from reality and embark on a journey of self-exploration.  It disappoints me that Baba does not support my love for writing, but I will continue to do it anyway because it fulfills me.
