Everytime I park in the street,
Everyone drops whatever they’re doing to watch me.
It makes me nervous.
“They’re watching me. I have to show them that I can park!”
People assume I can’t drive.
That I chose the literature track in thanawiyya amma, not the science one.
That I don’t like video games.
That I’m bad at math.
That I love cooking.
And that I’m not tech-savvy.
