Affectionate Alert: A letter to my little sis

Dear Sister, I am writing this letter to address some of the questions you may have been pondering. I realize it may not cover all the issues you face as a teenager, but I hope you can take something from it with an open heart. I'm no expert on life, nor am I perfect; we've spent enough time together for you to know I'm not an angel. In truth, I'm quite emotional, erratic, and vulnerable. As I write this, tears stream down my face, and it's embarrassing to admit that I've had to review and rethink this letter multiple times before sending it to you. Please refrain from laughing, although I know you're probably chuckling already๐Ÿ˜‚. Getting to know you has been a privilege and a joy. I remember the day you were born a decade after me. I saw you for the first time in the hospital, sleeping peacefully, and I couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Mom was exhausted yet radiantly happy to have given birth to such a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Your arrival brought...

Life beyond Cameras

Image
Life Beyond Cameras ๐Ÿ˜Ž If there is one thing young people of this century should thank God for, it is technology. We are living in a tech era where many of the struggles our great-grandparents faced are no longer threats. But why do I sometimes feel like it is a curse as well? ๐Ÿ˜ Is it just me, or are there others who feel the same way? The tech planet is appealing and exciting, but I also find it deteriorating. Today, we live a hybrid life, with both physical and social media presences. Can you believe it? Ask yourself how many times a day you check your social media accounts. Now, compare that to the time you spend on other activities. Some might find that they spend more hours scrolling than doing other things. Wait ๐Ÿ˜„, have you ever posted a picture or a video and then checked every second for likes or comments? What are we looking for by doing this? Let's be honest with ourselves—we are surely seeking attention, approval, and love. Believe me, I meant it when I mentioned that ...

PAIN

One day a doctor asked me how I felt. I shed tears right away. I am so much of a person who doesn’t like to let out emotions, but at that moment I couldn’t hold them. I don’t regret it as I learned something new that day. The Doctor encouraged me to cry more and asked me a lot of questions I normally try not to answer as they trigger my emotions. by then it was about the accident I had and for me it was early to talk about it. I was still in shock, and I always dodged that conversation. The Doctor told me how it is human, how it displays signs of life and a normal human to cry, he further explained how it is scientifically bad and dangerous to not feel pain or express it when you should. He gave me an example of a tree: when it is broken it tears too. A normal person feels pain and expresses it in different ways. Some try to hide it like me, others don’t. Those who know me little think that I never get angry or that I am always laughing, well am more of smiley girl because I try to loo...

On Fifth of June

Image
The Fifth of June is another birthday for me and it means a lot as it changed a lot about my physical, spiritual and mental life. It was a long and sunny day; I woke up that day early as usual so that I couldn’t be late for the everyday morning meetings I had at eight O clock. That same day I had an evening coffee with my two good friends.  It is something you can’t explain but I am very sure that we are connected with surroundings more than we could ever imagine. It was a day like others, with a similar schedule. I followed each and every item on it but I kept feeling lost, uninspired, unhappy, things which don't happen to me often. I was having weird feelings and negative energy I can never explain. I remember that I even wanted to cry when there was nothing to cry about. I kept pushing away those feelings focusing on my work and learning new things I had on my schedule but it kept coming. At 5:15’ I left the working place and went to meet my friends, on my way there when I was c...

Diversity

Image
I used to think that we should all be on the same page on different topics. I wouldn’t understand why you are not understanding things the way I do, it used to make me mad and sad, until I thought of a world full of me. The world where everybody thinks, behaves, acts like me. I hated the idea the moment it popped in my head Because none is perfect and am not an exception but mingling with others hide my flaws and light my strengths and with our uniqueness we make this world colorful and beautiful. Knowing Diversity meaning changed my life and mindsets and ultimately became something I wish everyone could understand. Nowadays people are free to express themselves like never before as social media gives all of us a space to do that. We like what we like and share what impressed us, some of us comment on different posts and that is why I say that social media have been a new way of opinions expression, but this doesn’t mean that we no longer use the other ways like brainstorming with frie...
