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.
