My name is Shorok I’m from a small island named Bahrain, I grew up in a small town named Arad, I come from a very humble family yet proud of who I am specially my parents because they worked so hard to give me and my siblings the life we have and continue to give us the greatest things, and my dad is my hero he was raised in a very hard environment his father died when he was just two years old, his mother raised him as a single mother, he’s been raised in a very hard conditions, he was an A student and always at the top of his class but he had to drop out of school in his last year of high school because he couldn’t see his mother facing the hardship on her own, they lived in a very tiny house, no electricity and no running water, he used to study with a candle as his lamp, he had to get three jobs one in the fish market and in the movie theatres and the other job is here and there, he promised that he will get a better life for him and his mother and his future family, he self-educated himself, he grew from being poor child and not even having three meals a day but two or one, to become a leader of a political party in the country, he belt the best home and house for his family, he became an amazing author and journalist, he got his children the best education, and he taught us to work hard for what we want.

I come from a house where I had everything I needed I never went to school with an empty stomach, I had clean clothes and clean water, my dad gave me the best things in life, I didn’t need a billionaire or millionaire or even like what my dad call himself a thousander to make us happy and fulfilled, I had the best education I didn’t need attend a privet school to be well educated or going to the best universities in the world to get smart yet I had the best education and I learned in life that you can go to the top schools and still be uneducated because education is about how you take the information and make it great on your own, my dad bought me the best clothes and always provided me with more than I need, yes he didn’t bought me a designer clothes to call him a great dad and I had my own car to go to school because I didn’t need rolls ryes to call him a great dad, I had my own clean room and bathroom, he took me to Los Angles and London and he took me to the best places in the world to make my musical dream come true and just to see me happy doing what I love to give me the opportunity to achieve my dream and all the things that makes me say that I don’t have to grow up and make a lot of money and if I’m ever going to have children I won’t say that I’m going to give them what I didn’t have, I had and continue to have everything I need in life, but what I say every day is that I want to become successful to give my parents all the things they didn’t get to have, thanks Dad for everything.

Not to forget I’m mostly Thankful for dad for helping my finishing my higher education and supporting all the way and helping me getting my two college degrees the first one is Bachelor degree in Business Administration and the second one is Masters degree in Project Management for that I am more than grateful.

I grew up in a house where I saw mom and dad welcoming everyone, my parents never judged people based on their religion, colour, nationality background, or social class, our home was and still is open to every human being and I carried those values into my life like a constitution I live by it, I do not care what the world calls you or someone is labelling you if you are kind truthful with good intention that is all that matters to me, those are the values I grew up on.

Music is my life, my obsession, I love art and creativity, and my imagination is what made me survive all the racism I faced at school and all the isolation and discrimination I faced when I decided I wanted to become an artist and fight for equality and fair treatment for women in the middle east, for this dream I lost friendships and lost the whole extended family because it was just too much for them to take, I’m a free spirit and I dress up the way I feel, no one or anything can change that in me I don’t care if I lose the whole world, I won’t give up on what makes me feel alive which is music and art.

I love movies and new adventures, I took it from my dad, I love new experiences, I’m an extremely introverted person, and I like being at home which means going out more than twice a week would drain my spirit, you can leave me at home for more than two years, I won’t feel alone, I love playing music all the time I cook with it I take a shower with it, I do almost everything with it, I’m Sagittarius which mean loyalty is my thing, I would die for you, but once you stab me in the back or disrespect me I will erase you from my life you become like a ghost to me, I don’t give up easily I fight until the end, I will always be there when shit get real.

I live for books and novels and philosophy and books that challenge my mind, and history books are the one thing I look for when I visit the bookstore, reading is like a time machine I can lose myself in the pages to live with the characters, movies for me are like a crazy magical journey  I get to live and breathe with a new group of people and experience a new story I get to see it and live in it while watching it.

Having a real friendship is a blessing from the universe, having few friends is even better, getting to have sisters and brothers from other parents for a lifetime is a blessing because I don’t like shallow friendships just for the appearances, big dinners is not my thing I like a cozy environment at home, watching TV eating nonstop; laughing all night long, not looking for my phone and the time just flyby and when getting back home I feel like I went to therapy, friends are not just there in highs or lows but there when nothing is happing and all you want is getting together, without makeup or dressing up just layback kind of time, that’s why I only trust few friends that I call family I only trust few people in life anyway, I don’t let in people very easily it takes long time from me to trust anyone and I like my circle small and private, my privacy is everything I protect it with everything I have it’s the one thing that I will never ever speak about I don’t like to share everything about my life.

Finally, I love football I am a Madridista my heart is white until the end of time it’s my passion because when I faced so many challenges, and the one thing that kept me smiling and forgetting for at least an hour what was going on in my life is Real Madrid, I enjoy football and the behind the scenes details, I’m a fanatic, I like to know about all the ins and outs of football the tactics and the line-ups and how the teams are managed and how managers think during the game and all the psychology behind it.

I Hope you Enjoy this post, share your story in the comments if you like.
