Sudden Change kills the soul And this change has eaten me whole. Her absence but presence is intolerable, This new face of hers is horrible. Sudden change kills the soul, And this change has eaten me whole. She was never a stranger, But the most feared thing by her was danger. Sudden change kills the soul, And this change has eaten me whole. Why, oh why is there a valley between us, It is impossible for me and her to discuss. Sudden change kills the soul, And this change has eaten me whole. She is not the girl I once knew, The devil has changed her with his crew. Sudden change kills the soul, And this change has eaten me whole. No, I don't miss her. To me she is just a blur. But one day. She will miss me when I'm away, She will miss that friend, That was ready to defend. Oh, sudden change kills the soul And this change has eaten me whole. Aayisha Nur   

 Today my mother's friend showed up at our door heartbroken and in tears. It's been a week now and my mother's phone has been broken, so she hasn't checked her whats app and any messages.   We never expect to be missed when we're absent. We sometimes disapear without any notice careless about who we might hurt, or how it may change the life of someone.   My mother was living freely without her phone and social media. It never dawned on her that someone cared and worried about her until her friend that she hasn't seen in months appears at our door.   Before leaving or going offline you should leave behind a note informing the people that you are alright. My mother should have left a message on her status saying that her phone was broken, it would have saved a shattered heart. Aayisha Nur   

  With technology and globalization, culture and heritage is being ignored. People don't want to stick to traditional ways anymore, everyone wants to  be modern. But is being modern really worth it?   Culture and heritage is what brings the community together. For example  the Native Americans,  a tribe will get together to preform a spiritual dance. The people on the gala islands may all sit together and make baskets. Or going back before the Ottoman Empire in the Turkmen villages, the women would all gather and weave carpets. Sticking to tradition means sticking together.   Tradition is not always a complicated task, it can be easy as cooking in a kitchen with a group of friends. Italian old ladies, all squeeze into a kitchen to make fresh pasta. But we modernized people may think "It's a waste of time, I can by it frozen." Why buy it frozen when you can make it by hand with your mother or sister in the kitchen and have it taste fresher and much bet...
