Here I am again, starting to write one day, and then not being able to express. And that’s okay. Sometimes emotions and thoughts cannot be translated. But here I am today, trying to write again. I was reading recently, on how to create change and motivation in your life. Some things included, taking new road…

You know what is really hard to do? Realize your self worth. Love yourself. Care and protect yourself. These are some tough things. The more I learn, the more I realize I know nothing, the more I am eager to learn new things and the more scared I get that I wont have enough time…

I was reading recently how breakups and separation can cause physical pain equivalent to a broken arm. It is no lie that when we grieve, or separate from someone, or a place we love, we feel a heavy burden, and the symptoms that we experience are much similar to withdrawal symptoms. Pain, mood swings, headaches,anxiety,…

I started a new job last month. And one thing which I have to stop and appreciate, is the blessing of having a really nice colleague. We dont go around finding nice coworker everywhere, who take us in, train us, give us all they can give. To him, explaining the process was not enough, he…

After a disappointment from any close person , a storm of hatred, disgust and a little of self blame passes. The self talk: Eventually, I know I will let go and forgive,because Im a good person, & it is the least of what I owe to myself ; inner peace. I also know I will…

This is my second month in CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, and I am learning so much about myself on day to day basis. Thanks to my therapist who is very keen on delivering her message as a therapist, and explaining in detail what I need to know. Last week, I had 2 simple tasks…

My therapist asked :” when was the last time you remember loving youself?” Yes indeed, it was hard to answer! Today I am writing about self love. One form of self love, is self respect. And self respect can…

ها انتم تدعون للميت ان يؤنس الله وحدته في قبره، وتتركون الحي يموت ببطء في وحدته فما دينكم؟ ما الدين الذي تتبعونه، تقرأون وترددون وتحفظون الكلمات. ومن ثم تديرون ظهوركم على من احببتم واحبكم. ما دينكم، تتركون اصدقائكم واقاربكم في معاناة مستمرة مع مشقات الحياة. وثم ترددون بعض الكلمات في محاولة ان تطهروا انفسكم من…

Since we can remember humanity’s existence, we can see how love has impacted every single aspect of our history. From simple art, to devastating wars. It is against human nature to say : forget about love. It is what we are made of, and the reason we keep existing, and basically, saying such thing goes…

لعلّ كتاباتي غمرها جو من الحزن في الفترات الاخيرة من حياتي. لعل احاديثي تسودها هالة من السواد، وربما اصبح الكثيرون يستثقِلون جَلَساتي. فطاقتي اختلفت. وأنا لم أعُد أعرفني لم أعُد أعرفني وأصبحت الناس في حياتي تذكرني بقطعٍ من نفسي. قطعٍ ضائعةٍ مني اشتقت ان التمسها فيّ عندما زرت لبنان في الصيف الماضي، جلست مع صديق…

I recently moved to a new flat. After 3 months of travelling, coming back to a strange city and a strange house, seems to be overwhelming.The nice thing though, is my bed has a very nice view, where I can allow the nostalgia to go and wander as it wishes. For 2 nights, a part…
