Arabian Floodgates

You know those famous floodgates that always help to keep the saltwater at bay? Well, my floodgates have a mechanism that makes them open completely when there is intense pressure applied to the grey/white matter mass above them and to the four chambers below them. They fly open as soon as the white/grey matter is squished so far that it feels like a piano has fallen on it and when the four chambers are swollen to the point where it feels like they’ll explode and rain chunks of cardiac muscle.

Right now, my floodgates are wide open and the intense pressures are NOT lifting.

Allow me to introduce pressure number one: Exams. They are the epitome of mental torture
.
Pressure number two: Responsibilities of various types that seem to always kick in at the busiest times!

Pressure number three: Matters of the heart. No, I am not referring to boys. I’ll have you know that there are other kinds of “Matters of the heart”.

Pressure number four: My own thoughts. Do you know how much pressure the stuff contained in the grey/white matter actually exerts on one’s floodgates? It’s freaking crazy!

Doesn’t sound like much… but it’s enough to allow the floodgates to open.
Arabic word for the day (I’ll make it positive… hopefully, it’ll help the floodgates close again =)
Nujoom: Stars.
