the inner dream: To be a cowgirl
These individuals are authentic cowboys. While I am not a cowgirl myself, I have always harbored a desire to be one. Fortunately, these gentlemen have graciously offered to teach me. Who am I, you ask? Well, let me explain. Growing up in Europe, I developed a deep fascination for horses as a young child. This led me to pursue horse riding lessons. However, as life often does, it presented obstacles that caused me to distance myself from these majestic creatures. Despite this, my dream of becoming a cowgirl persisted. Now that I find myself in the United States, I am eager to give it a try. Can anyone here provide me with guidance on how to fulfill my aspiration of becoming a cowgirl? Furthermore , I pose a significant question. In a world where it seems like everyone wants to be a cowboy, I have noticed that even millionaires share this desire. What does it truly entail to become one? When I initially started this journey, I naively believed it would be a straightforward endeavor. I even made a personal commitment to reward myself with an authentic cowgirl hat once I achieved this status. However, I soon came to realize that as a European attempting to become a cowgirl, the process is far more intricate and challenging than I had initially anticipated. There is immense pressure involved in this endeavor. Consequently, I sought guidance from an authentic cowboy instructor named Jon. Jon's occupation is quite distinctive as he travels extensively throughout the nation, imparting the art of cowboyism. One particular horse, Royce, will be our companion for today's ride. Specifically, Jon instructs individuals on how to effectively communicate and collaborate with horses. The most common blunder people make is being excessively kind and affectionate, resulting in dangerous situations where the horse gains dominance. Despite his tough exterior, Jon's approach emphasizes responsible horsemanship. . . .

Home
The road behind me fell away, as the old taxi coughed and wheezed on its journey back to my palace. The wheels crashed against the asphalt; every sporadic jump mimicked my heartbeat. It stopped at the junction. My driver, a burly man with a thick northern Vietnamese accent, lit a cigarette, took a puff, then snuffed it out, taking care not to let any smoke inside. It was very considerate of him, and I was glad. My motion sickness is bad as it is without the smell of tobacco. But as the light turned green and we were moving again, my stomach could no longer withstand its suffering, and I started expunging my breakfast into a bag. The smell of half-digested eggs stung my nostril, threatening another bout of bowel clearance, and I cursed whoever invented cars. I could feel my temples throbbing, and for a moment, I channeled my inner Hamlet and pondered whether it was worth it to continue. Yet, if Odysseus could brave through countless dangers in his 10-year journey back home, I too shall endure this plight.

The Beginning
If you could ask anything in the world, what question would you ask? I remember this being the start of my writer's journey. I wanted to ask everything but, at only five years old, my view of the world was so small. So, I did what any five year old would do, I thought of the biggest thing I could think of, clutched my pencil and wrote, “If you met your heart, what would you ask it?” If only, back then, I'd known how much I’d yearn for an answer to that question. I have met my heart time after time, only to be met with knowing silence. A gnawing and niggling at the back of my brain, that taunts me with the fact that that my vital organs know things about me that I may never uncover; not in this lifetime, and maybe not ever. That still hasn’t stopped me from asking questions, that bold five year old still lives within me. She is my natural curiosity, the impulsive desire to touch things I’m not supposed to, push buttons just to see what they do, surf the most obscure parts of the internet for bits and pieces of information that may never be useful; but I'd know them. Above all, this innate curiosity is born of love, a fervor for knowledge, and the desire to share those things with people.
