About Me

It's a strange question. To ask somebody who they are. As if the attempt to solidify who you are as a person would come as easily as just a few words, just a few lines that so neatly came together. I could tell you a bunch of things. I could tell you that I only have twenty one years behind me, and I plan for there to be many more. I could tell you that my home is never quiet, and on the rare opportunity that it is, I hurry to bask in the silence as it will quickly fill up again. I could tell you about my four legged best friend, and I could also mention that my heart has no ability to love anything/one any more than him. I could tell you about my major or my specialist, but it's common knowledge that these things will not matter after graduation. I could tell you about my curly hair, my messy bedroom, my busy schedule. But no, none of these things matter anyway. I could tell you that I proofread my text messages, or that I will correct your grammar in the middle of a heated conversation. I could tell you that I have obsessive compulsive disorder and though I have not been diagnosed, well,I have diagnosed myself. I could tell you that if I'm silent in the car, it's because I'm counting the little yellow lines, and that from my home to the Credit Valley Hospital there are eighteen hundred of them. I could tell you that I am underpaid. That I work hard, and because I have a deep fear of change, I will not go anywhere else. I could tell you these things, but what does it tell you? I will tell you this though, that rbouyounes.com was born in 2009, as an attempt to categorize, itemize and simply keep track of memories that we so often forget. I could pull out any post and tell you exactly where I was when I wrote it, I could tell you how the air smelled that day, and how I was feeling. It's a way to remember, to believe in goodness, to believe in something. I could tell you these things. But what do they matter? Go on, then. Make up your own mind, your own opinion. Read what you like. Learn what you can. And for the unanswered questions, contactme@rbouyounes.com, I would be glad to change that.

-Cheers
