Writing Feedback / Daydreaming Experience Paper [4]

Daydreaming Experience

When we are alone and bored, we suddenly become unconscious when a series of things distract our thoughts. This is commonly called indulging in a daydream. We may imagine about different things you plan to do in the future, think about what the outcome of our actions may be, and try to answer questions that randomly pop into our mind plus a plenty more things you're concerned about.

We have all experienced daydreaming while the teacher is discussing lectures in class. We can't help but make up stories in our head once we've started daydreaming. For instance, when I was too inattentive in class once, I began imagining of what the future holds for me. I started with college - a serious matter which I'm excited yet nervous about. Excited because I can see the independency and new world that awaits me; however, the thought of what kind of people I will be surrounded with and who my friends are going to be with makes me nervous.

Likewise, it's funny how sometimes my mind goes miles away to the different places around the world that I want to visit. It is one of my most-cherished dreams to have enough money and travel in various locations. I imagine myself taking pictures of lovely sceneries while collecting souvenirs from different countries. Just the thought of it makes me smile and excited at the same time.

Having my head in the clouds motivates me to reach my goals; it pushes me to strive, to get a hold of what I'm dreaming of. It's manipulating things to the way you wanted them to happen. Daydreaming also relieves stress and refreshes the mind. It is extremely natural so go ahead, feel free to create a wondrous world you want, and dream as big as you can.

An Open Letter to Your Parents

I am the type of person who is not showy, a kind of person who loves and care silently. But I try to show how much I appreciate someone through little ways. I hope through this letter that I wrote for both of you, Mama and Ama, I can say the things which I cannot tell you in person.

If you thought I never listened to your lectures, I honestly always did. I have learned a lot from all the meaningful things that you've said. I want you to know that it really breaks my heart when I see you cry. For that, I will try my very best to never make you sad. I also want to let you know that every time I hug you, my heartaches seem to fade. I still feel safe and protected whenever you're around. Thank you for being supportive. Thank you for all the care and warmth you give. Thank you so much for who I am, Mama.

I know we're not that close to each other yet you're the person I will miss the most here in Saudi. I don't want to leave you alone but that's just the way how life goes. I'll make sure to study well for you and all the exhaustion you have experienced for us. Just please also make sure you are going to take care of yourself always. Thank you so much for all of your sacrifices, Ama.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you have done for me in the past 16 years. I don't think I could've made it here without you. I am so lucky to have such great parents. Thank you for everything. I love you both so much!
