It's been a while!

Wow! the last time I posted anything on my blog was more than 2 years ago!

A lot of things have happened in my life; on the personal, social and even the NATIONAL level lol. Lots of changes have occurred, lots of surprising events have taken place, lots of people have been met and lots of experiences have been went through and all of this have lead to the emergence of a lot of thoughts, feelings and ideas that were born in my head. Unfortunately, not all of them were properly expressed though.

Writing has always been my best communication channel. I fell in love with writing when I was around 8 years old and making up lame pop songs, then my passion for writing grew more as I became a teenager writing deep emotional poetry but it was only when I started this blog to share my random thoughts that I realized my passion.

There is this special connection between my mind and the pen (or in this case the keyboard) that pleasurably translates my thoughts and feelings into words. So even though I might not be the best at it, writing still helps giving me a sense of fulfillment and happiness.

Because of how busy my life suddenly got 2 years ago, I barely got the chance to reward myself every now and then with writing... but the accumulation of unexpressed thoughts in my head was too much pressure to handle that I almost had a break down. Of course it wasn't just the fact that I had no time for writing that frustrated me but it's the idea of not having time to do ANYTHING that I feel like, the idea of not being in control. My overcrowded life overcame me and I lost control over my life. But this had to stop!

So I sat down with myself and had one of those "we need to talk" conversations that ended up with many promises one of which was to never EVER let go of a source of passion. No matter how busy my life is, no matter how stressed my mind gets, no matter how tired my eyes feels , it never hurts to spend extra 30 mins before sleep on something that makes me happy. 30 mins of reflecting life events and putting them in front of my eyes. 30 mins as a chance to look at the full picture. 30 mins to let out negative energy and thoughts. 30 mins to highlight positive emotions. 30 mins to dream and visualize. 30 mins to inspire and get inspired. 30 mins to give me a reason to wake up the next morning and gladly survive life. 30 mins are not too much to ask for :)

So to my blog, I shall return.

Isn't it amazing when you receive messages in life that shows you are not alone?



I mean... I swear right after I was done with this post, I read a couple of pages from "The Pilgrimage" by Paulo Coelho and I ran into this statement:



"The first symptom of the process of our killing our dreams is the lack of time. The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight."
