currently,

my name is laila.

my dad lets me choose my name sometimes

so i chose laila after a character in one of the books i read

when i was younger.

i couldn't tell you the plot, or whether or not

the book itself was enjoyable.

the only aspect i can recall is her name.

i have called myself this name once before, but it was

months ago - dad wouldn't remember.

sometimes i wonder how dad can remember my name since we

change it so frequently, or how

he always produces legal papers after every new name is

picked,

but he always tenses up when i ask,

"i have my ways" he always responds

but i think i deserve an explanation.
