#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am an Underdog
Some people are meant to lead. Some are meant to follow. I am and have always been a follower aka an underdog. I wrote about this in this 2016 post and nothing will ever change that, not my mom, not my aunt, not even Toastmasters.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Tolerant
Having been raised by my mom and her family most of my life, I often call myself the black sheep of her family.

Friday Fictioneers: Earth Day
I don’t recall what happened. All I remember is walking alongside the river with my fiancee, Mark, on Earth Day when several loud pop, pop, pop rang in the air. Next thing I knew, I was falling backwards into Mark’s arms, “Leila, what do I do?” He said frantically.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am a Rebel
Believe me when I say this, I did not used to be a rebel. I was a goody-two-shoes who did everything I was asked to do and please my mom was my life until…

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Quiet
I may seem quiet on the outside but really, I am just an awkward conversationalist with a vivid imagination and a loud mind.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am out to Prove myself
When I got my mountain bike about a month ago, when I was assembling it, my aunt came over and said, “Just sell it already, get some cash back.”

Life is but a never-ending chess match. One wrong move and you might lose.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I have Nyctophobia
I have Nyctophobia. It’s another word for an irrational fear of night or darkness. My brain and heart are fighting each other on this. My brain says this is an irrational fear but brain, can you please tell that to my heart when it’s thudding like a high-rhythmic beating drum when I’m in the dark?

Friday Fictioneers: The World Beneath
I watch as the water drains from the pipe above into the well below. It must be still raining up above, I think. Most of the city must be underwater by now.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Messy
“I have never met anyone messier than you. I don’t know how you can live like this,” my mom would often say.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Lack of…

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Klutzy
I am pretty klutzy, period. My mom used to singsong “clumsy, clumsy girl” whenever I fell down as a little girl. I think I fell because my mind was somewhere else, at least that’s why I fell and scraped my knees the last time, which was about a year ago.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Jovial
I consider myself to be a jovial person. It doesn’t take much to make me laugh, even if I feeling angry at the moment. I sometimes dislike this ability – to go from anger to laughter like a flip of a coin.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Impatient
I have often been told by my mom I am a patient person. “I don’t think I have the patience like yours to complete a 2000-piece jigsaw puzzle.” She’d say. So that’s what I’ve always thought – I am a patient person.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Hopeful
I don’t recall when I developed this ridiculously hopeful attitude toward life – that everything will get better eventually, that something is better than nothing, glass is half-full kind of person.
