I wrote this for my cousin , Ehsan. when my friends read it, they liked it . I 'm sharing it in my blog.I hope you enjoy it as well.
I am a lonely boy, living alone in this city, far away from my family. This is my first semester in this university and I had never lived alone in my nineteen years of living, so I have problems with my new situation.
One of the problems of being alone is that I have to do everything by myself. Nobody takes care of me any more. There is no mom, no dad, and not even a younger brother here to do my things. I have to wash my things myself, cook my meals, and clean the house, and a lot of other things. I have to do all of these things myself! And do you think I can do all of these perfectly?! Ofcourse not!!! For example I get home at 7 o’clock in the afternoon. I am tired, dirty, and hungry. Then I start thinking:” First of all I have to take a bath. No! Prepare something to eat. No! First I sleep, when I get up I do these things. No! I have to study! Ohhhhhhhhhh! How can I do all of these things?!” And do you know what happens? I eat bread while I am taking a shower, and I am thinking about my lessons! Suddenly I hear a sound and that is my washing machine that had been washing my clothes without water! I had forgotten to turn the fauset on! Then I smell something, ohhhhhh no the only thing that I had to eat does not exist any more! I burnt the dinner! And that is when I have to go and buy eggs from the supermarket. I get dressed and go out angrily. But then I become happy. I remember that I am not really alone and I have “Forogho Saltane” and “Yaghoob”! They are the only creatures living with me in the house. Then I go to Forogho Saltane and ask her if she could help me to eat something for dinner. And you know what I see? I see her kind face and hear her lovely voice that says:” Yes, dear ehsan come and take my newborn child. Take him and eat him. You are the one who takes care of me and my lovely husband Yaghoob. I will have more children!“ yes that’s when I come into the house and heat the pan untill it is hot enough to fry Forogho Saltane’ newborn child. Then I pour the oil in the pan and…I break the eggs in it!
Yes that is me living alone in this city ohh I am sorry. That is me living with two other lovely creatures the kind “Forogho Saltane”(my hen) and her dear husband “Yaghoob”!!!!!!!

Dear Freshteh,
Your poem was so nice.
What a nice essay!
Living alone is not easy at all but it makes people grow generally :-)

Hi Freshteh,
I have a 21 year old son - who has just started flatting. He is going through the same thing as you (I don't think he is eating too well!!!).
You will learn by trial and error - this is the process of learning. Buy a recipe book and have fun trying new recipes!! Soon you will be as good as a chef (if you want to be!!)
It is an adjustment learning to be independent - and you will definitely appreciate your Mum even more now, I am sure!!
I like your writing - it has made me smile and has been very entertaining - also the poems are very good!!
Keep up the good work!!
Kindest regards
