Lost and Found

We all end up losing things during our lifetime, wether it be items such as keys, money, mobile phones or even something more meaning like friendships and relationships. At times words cannot describe the feeling of actually finding whatever it is you have lost. Personally, I hate losing things especially when I have no recollection of where it was lost. With small items such it can be difficult to trace back to where exactly it may have been lost, dropped or stolen from.

Sometimes it can be impossible to find something that you have lost or even someone that you have lost contact with. I've seen many people that I have had the pleasure to get to know come and go in my life. I've established some great friendships with people in the past and unfortunately, life takes a person down different paths than yours and it can be difficult to reconnect with that person in the near future. I've been fortunate on some occasions to bump into old friends, just on the chance of them living in the same city as me. So I know that one day, I will have the opportunity to cross paths with those I had considered as a good friend or acquaintance of mine. That's just me being optimistic but it's a possibility nonetheless.

There comes a time when a person can feel lost in life. There doesn't appear to be any clear direction of where their life will be taking them or how they will develop as a person through their experiences. Then sometimes an opportunity comes about. It could be anything from a job offer to a moment in life shared with a potential love. I believe opportunities are not always easily visible to those who are going through hard times in their lives but they are out there. For some it's just a case of opening your eyes and seeing what could literally be staring you in the face. I for one have been guilty of watching the world pass me by on several occasions but I have learned that opportunities are out there, some need to be sought after and some are just easily visible. Who knows what how are lives will take shape unless we use the tools to help mould it.

Remember, we all have one life so why not make the most of it while we are still on this planet.

My first blog

So this is my first taste of the blogging culture that has existed for many years now. I'm someone who generally thinks a hell of a lot and doesn't necessarily expresses himself in the best way possible. Some people use many forms to express themselves, (for example, through music, art, poetry and performance to name but a few). Me on the other hand, I never really learned or practiced ways of expressing myself. I just think too much and ponder on the backlog of all these memories, dreams and theories that pass through my head on a daily basis. I've always been keen on creative writing and have delved around a little bit in the past but it's never been on a continuous basis. Consistency and sustainability, story of my life.

So who am I? Well I'm Khalid, a 24-year old who was born in Brooklyn, New York in the eighties but came over to England with my mum, at the tender age of 18 months, to embark on a new life in the UK. To be honest, it was more my mother's choice than mine. I mean... c'mon it's not like I was capable of having a say. I used to wonder what my life would be like if I grew up in the States but in all honesty, I'm content with English upbringing and it's not like I won't have the chance to explore the world at some point in my life, right? It's like the Adidas slogan..."Impossible Is Nothing".

So I'll leave you guys with that for now but rest assured, I will be back blogging sooner than you know it.

Ciao for now
