         The person I am trying to talk about is someone following me like my shadow. In the beginning I had a hope that some day we will separate but now I am tired of hoping. Her name is Bahija and I am sure she will never leave me.

         She has been with me for 18 years, two months and three days. In spite of all this long time, I still have difficulty to understand her. Sometimes she looks beautiful with her black hair and sparkling brown eyes. Sometimes I see her like a little fearsome monster in glasses and dark clothes. But at the end she is a mixture of all things which makes her quite hard to describe.

         I love Bahija when she likes to have fun. You can see that glamorous funny side of youth in her eyes. When she is with her three best friends having fun, there's nothing that can stop her enjoying amusing jokes and passionate laughs. However, I hate her when she starts complaining about life especially when she is at home. She really looks like an old nagging woman. She is not sociable enough. She doesn't make friends easily as she has had previous unsuccessful experiences. Despite all, Bahija remains reliable, honest and sincere.

         There are moments when she seems busy looking for her true talents through writing poetry, fiction, acting and so on. But nothing works, nevertheless she never stops trying. I know one day she will find herself in something because she is stubborn.

         All in all Bahija is not that bad and she is not that good either. She is mostly like everybody. I cannot separate from her because she is ... me.
