473 Entries for “foreign”

  1. What I want to be… I want to be travelling far away. Experiencing new things, eating weird food, basking in the novelties of a different culture different place. I want to see and experience and witness the beauty of this world… all of it. To explore the unknown and come out new.

  2. New People. Not indegenous to the culture. Not “normal.” Often associated with illegal immigrants. When someone is not in their native country they are foreign. Traveling to other countries one becomes a foreign. Minority.

  8. There was a delicious smell coming from the back bedroom. It wasn’t something she had ever experienced before, but it made her nostrils crave something new, something out of her element. It awakened her to the possibilities of life. And nothing would ever be the same.

  10. There are a lot of foreign words that I like to use in a daily conversation. The phrases that I utilize are not always from my native language, English. In fact, most words and phrases used today are derived from Latin origins. Here, I would explain some facts regarding Latin words and phrases. I would then mention root words and give examples of some like “pre”.

  11. The foreign man was cruel. A foreign jungle was his domain with his abuse and past. The fuel to his fire and soul came from the normalcy achieved in the abuse endured by his non foreign counter parts. The darkness sat like a poem at the bottom of his brain. A foreign pain. A foreign man.

  14. foreign. funny, i’m actually in a foreign country right now! but i love foreign people. they have no desire to look at you funny or anything, they just wanna come and experience something new, and get a taste of our culture, which is really cool if you think about it for a while. we think we’re the norm but to them we’re completely weird and different than what they know.

  17. light escaped through the panels of wooden cage surrounding me. noises in the shadows kept me from venturing away. this place was my new hom. my only sanctuary all else was foreign and dangerous.

  18. A foreign-minded guy. She means, he’s not the same, he’s different. Born to be loved. Born to be the perfect guy she’d love to fall in love with. A great friend, a great person, an artist. With such a breathtaking pair of eyes and a gorgeous smile. A bohemian. He can kill her and then revive her whenever he wants.

  19. Life sometimes seems so foreign to me. One day I’ll be riding the bus and the thought of how we are encompassing as a species on Earth and how we’re constantly consuming Earth and its energy, like we’re draining it somehow hits me. We’re truly foreigners here.

  20. twisting vines blossoming with purple flowers glazed the rolling hills as she grasped for her lovers soothing dark hand. this is your place? she said to him.

    Standing in the wings
    The limbs contort in foreign fashions
    Tethers sway and swing

  24. When Charlie finally got a glimpse of his new neighbers it felt worth the wait. They were foreigners. That meant different customs, foods, ideas, and perhaps a different language. To Charlie that meant he was about to aquaint himself with some very interesting people.

  26. refers to something from not where you are/are from. Often associated with language or culture, obviously country as well. I like the vowel arrangement. It took me a while to be able to spell it correctly consistently, but I have it now, and the arrangement is consequently pleasing to me.

  27. i’m foreign, a gonner, dead. Been there, done that – but never got the T-shirt. Seems a bit unfair, but such is life. What to do about it – embrace it? Everyone is foreign in some sense. In every sense, they just don’t realise it

  28. when i walk into a room and don’t understand what’s going on. when i see people that make no sense to me. it’s all a new concept when i see them. i’m being watched; being on a stage with curtains opening and lights a-blazing. sometimes it’s in those moments, though, that i find myself, because myself is the only thing i have to cling onto that i really know in those moments of foreigness. for-reign.

  29. I took in the delightful smell of fine French bread as I entered the charming cafe. Everything seemed to be built in miniature, all nestled together, chairs and tables nearly on top of the serving counter. It felt intimate and private at the same time.

  30. The sun hit her face and burned at her delicate skin. The warmth of the outside was foreign to her. She had been locked in that cell for years; hour after hour. She breathed in the humid air and smiled, freedom…finally.

  31. there was a new girl who moved next door. she spoke a different language than everyone else. looked different from everyone else. and just did everything different. is being different another word for foreign? or could foreign be another word for unique?

  32. She developed a european accent somewhere between the sliding doors into the airport and terminal A7. IT thickened the longer we stayed connected on the phone, till at 15 mins in she was chatting into my earpiece about summer in nepal while she was being wheeled onto the plane and i laughed out loud. a crutch maybe against the stranger she was forced to have help her get from point a to point be, with her bag heavy enough to shock the flight attendant and her MS.

  33. anything foreign is scary in a sense, but also gives a sense of freedom. you can be anything you want, see anything you want… no prior prejudges are in place. I want to be surrounded in foreign.

  34. I am foreign, but now I have become part of this country, because that’s what time does. When something foreign stays in one place for long enough it becomes part of that setting.

  36. Your smile felt so foreign. It felt so distant. You smiled at her like you used to smile at me and I now wonder if your feelings have changed. Maybe you no longer will look at me like you used to, maybe I will never be the pretty girl in your eye, but you will always be the happiness behind my smile, the joy behind my laughter, and the warmth inside my heart. You will never be foreign to me no matter how much you try to build an ocean between us. I might be foreign to you, but know that you will never be foreign to me.

  37. Foreign. Foreign friends, foreign enemies. We are all humans. We are all friends. Why not act like it?

  38. The foreign object in his eye hurt like hell. “Damn, I just need to get this thing out,” Max thought to himself. He flushed his eye several times, then he realized that he needed to get professional help. He couldn’t see, though, to call 911. None of his neighbors were home, either.

  40. foreign eyes, foreign smile, more beautiful or less? foreign taste, foreign laugh, still listening or not? foreign manner, foreign poems, do you understand? all the words have different meanings and I don’t mean the way they’re spelled.
