exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaams!

i just read an article about how the kenyan government want to build the biggest port in east africa on lamu island. my family is orginally from india but, my parents and grandparents were born in kenya, and i always wished i was too. in the summer of 2008, my parents, sister and i visited kenya for a week. it was truly the most beautiful experience of my life. and i expect it will be for some time. we toured nairobi, mombasa, took a safari in the great masai mara reserve, relaxed at a malindi beach, and last, but not least, we spent a few days on lamu island. it was the most serene environment you could possibly imagine. the narrow alleys, the lack of exhaust fumes, even the donkeys, it was pure bliss. this is the WORST idea i have ever heard! not only will they be destroying people lives, they'll be completely disturbing the amazing world heritage site. i'm going to try to find something i can do about it. if i can.

i know what my problem is. i can't write about my problems. like, ever. i can tell you what's wrong, no problem. but when it comes to having to write them down, i can't! and it's not that i'm a bad writer. i love english, one of my favourite subjects. i'm really good at it too. that's why i've never been able to keep a diary. or write properly about my day here in this journal. i write all these things, but it's not what's actually bothering me.
