أنا و تشرين و أنت

أشعر بالحاجة إلى النطق بإسمك هذا اليوم، أشعر بالحاجة إلى أن أتعلق بحروفه كما يتعلق طفل بقطعة حلوى. منذ زمن طويل لم أكتب إسمك في أعلى الرسائل، لم أزرعه شمساً في رأس الورقة، لم أتدفأ به. و اليوم و تشرين يهاجمني و يحاصر نوافذي، أشعر بالحاجة إاى النطق به، بحاجةٍ إلى أن اوقد ناراً صغيرة، […]

Twice As Good or Four Times As Hard?

 One of my all time favorite quotes is this: “Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good.

I Believe……

 Have a seat…relax…and read this slowly. 1. I believe – That we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change. 2. I believe – That no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and, you must forgive them for that. 3. I believe […]

Half Empty is Optimistic

  The “half empty” means you’re pessimistic analogy has always been a mystery to me. Yeah, I get the analogy, but I think we’re looking at the wrong side of the glass sometimes. Why focus on what’s already in the container when there is so much empty space to fill? The empty space is the […]

كوني له أمة يكن لك عبداً

بستغرب من تصرفات بعض البنات المتزوجات من الجيل الجديد، إللي بتسب على زوجها او إللي بتعلي صوتها عليه إذا ما عجبها كلامه، و اللي بتنكد عليه عيشته إذا ما عمل اللي بدها ياه، و يا الله البنات اللي بركضوا يشكو لأهاليهم عن كم الشب ظالمهم ناسين أو متناسين إنو لو هي سامحته أهلها مش رح يسامحوا […]
