We're related!!

One of the dazzling truths about that life is that everybody living on that big, wide, wonderful planet are related!! Yes, if you think about it, you'll find that despite our differences we all have like a million things in common. For instance, we all breathe, we eat, we drink, we love, we hate, we sleep, we strive for happiness & so many other things that we have in common.
That dazzling truth makes me wonder, if every living human are some related then why all that hatred, envy & despise; why fighting & arguing; why do we do that after all?! Are our differences so much powerful that they conquer our similarities?! Are they so powerful to transform us to those hating envying creatures?! For me, our differences can never be more powerful than our similarities because although our differences are what define us, our similarities are what make us alive in the first place.
I believe in that big time & I hope that someday we will forget about our differences & only remember that we're all related!!

May you all find happiness =)

Meet the Bully


Teenage is one of the most critical stages in anybody’s life. As teenagers, we have a lot to encounter in our lives. We have school, teachers, and friends, finding out who we really are & determining what we wanna do with our lives. In addition to that rumble, some teenagers have a major problem that they have to deal with every day. They have to deal with Bullies!!!!
Bullying is a kind of abuse that anyone can encounter in his daily life. You can find bullies everywhere, at work, university or even across the neighborhood but bullying is more common in schools. So, you wanna know more about bullies. Here you go.
Bully fact # 1: It may be fun but the consequences aren’t funny at all
Bullies claim that they’re doing this just for fun & that they mean no harm. But the question is: “Do they really do no harm?. Unfortunately, yes they do & it’s not a slight harm, it’s a deep bleeding wound. Teenagers who are victims of bullying suffer low self-confidence. They have constant feeling of intimidation. Sometimes, they get into bleak depression that may drive them to taking their own lives!!!! (I know it’s hard to believe but you can search the internet for “Bullycide” & see for yourself that it really happened).
So what do you think now? Is it still funny?!!
Bully fact # 2: Bullying actions are reflection to the bully’s low self-confidence:
Yes guys, this is the truth!! When somebody spends his/ her time doing nothing but picking on others or mocking them, it’s because they want to drift people’s attention away from them or because they want people to believe they’re strong & highly confident of themselves. And why is that? It’s simply because they fear that if people knew they’re weak or if people had a chance, they would mock them and that’s so hard for them to take.
Bully fact # 3: they’re bullying you because they’re jealous from you:
If you thought about it for a while, you would find that it’s true. They’re doing this cause they know you’re better than they are. They think they can’t be like you or they don’t even wanna give it a shot so what they do? Bully you, destroy your self-confidence. And then………you’re down.
Now, you’ve known the truth about that bullying thing. But before you turn the page, I have something to tell you:
If you are a bully: “I know that deep inside, you’re so good to harm others, to be a bully. Try to discover the friendly-you & bring him/ her to life again. See people from inside. Be yourself & let others be themselves. 
If you’re being bullied: “You have to believe in yourself, love yourself as it is & never try to change it because people want you to. Give yourself a break & stop blaming yourself for everything you do even if it was dumb. Believe me, sometimes dumb things are what make life cool ;):)  ”

My super mom

I have never been the kind of person who show how they feel in words. Well, I know that's a shortcoming of mine because when you love someone, you gotta tell them that you do; that makes them happy after all. But though it all, I never really told someone that I love him/her except for this one person. This one person who I always tell "I love you" everyday; actually I'm telling her that every morning & every evening. And if you're thinking that she must be so special to me, you're right because she really is.; she has to be, She's my MOM :D:D But don't you think that my mom is an ordinary mom or that our relationship is an ordinary mother-daughter relationship. No, it's not, it's not ordinary at all. I may be a little bit biased when I say that but I think that it's one-of-a-kind mother-daughter relationship. You wanna know why? Well, let's start from the beginning.
1-Mom has always been there for me. She supported me even when almost everybody I know called me crazy & a potential failure. She believed in me even when I lost any belief in myself.
2-She taught me almost everything I know in this life. She taught me to respect others, to love others & to be good to others regardless of how bad they were to me. She taught me the meaning of how to be strong & how to rise again whenever I fall.
3-She took all my craziness, stubbornness & sometimes my idiocy with much love & acceptance.
4-She's always been my guiding beacon all the way. She guided me without judging or irritation. She never gets sick of me making mistakes then coming back to her asking for help or for advice.
5-She knows what I want before I even open my mouth to speak it. And she finds her ultimate happiness in getting us what my sister & I want (but we're not spoiled kids FYI  :D:D).
6-I see her as a never-ending source of forgiveness. Sometimes, I believe that my job in that life is to mess things up & her job is to forgive me.
7-If you ask me who's your best friend, the answer will definitely be "My mom". She's always been a perfect  BFF & a cool one too :D:D She always listened to me & never made fun of me. Not only that,She also did her best to be a part of everything in my life not in an intruding way but in a contributing way. She was the secret ingredient behind my love for my four favorite things in life; cinema, music, reading & desserts :D:D She was the first to take me to the movies, she introduced me to many of my now-favorite singers & bands, she encouraged me to read & for that dessert thing, mom is the best when it comes to making desserts, her desserts are just irresistible.So, here are some reasons why I consider my mom to be the best mom in the whole world, actually I think of her as the best person in the whole world. And today, I'm writing that for her as a "Happy Mother's day" gift. So, I just going tell her one final thing: "MOM, I love you. You're always gonna be my hero "

The Gennie, Rapunzel & me

About an hour ago, I've read some line on Twitter stating that within everybody of us, there's a Disney character. Well, that line brought back to my mind a question that I've always asked every time I watch a Disney movie or let's say an animation movie.If I were a Disney character or a cartoon character, who would I wanna be? Personally, I prefer to be that crazy, hilarious, messy, annoying in a funny way friend. Like the Gennie in Aladdin, Wazowski  in Monsters inc or even Sid in Ice Age!!! OK, I admit that this's not what you expected because as a sweet gentle young lady, I'm expected to dream of being a fair princess like Cinderella, Snow White or even Sleeping Beauty :D:D. Honestly, I've never dreamed of being such a fair princess & I don't have a clue about why I never did. But if I was to choose a fair princess to be, I would choose Rapunzel in the 2010-animated feature "Tangled", Why?! Because in that feature, Rapunzel is funny, smart, strong or pretending to be strong & on top of all this, she's got a dream & she's pursuing it, is there anything better than that?! Maybe but for me, having a dream, pursuing it yet enjoying your life, your tiny successes or failures & these ups & downs facing you on that tiring yet rewarding journey is something that everybody needs. And for me, the thing that all the dreamers out there are missing in order to have a happy life is that "enjoying" thing. Yes, we get so much involved in that reaching-our-dream journey that we forget to enjoy the beauty of it. We forget to enjoy the many moments of happiness & success. We forget to enjoy the laughs & the learning moments even if they're tiring or painful & the moments of appreciation. We forget to enjoy & we end up trapped in the bleak "what if" zone. So, I made a decision. From now on, I'm gonna try to enjoy as much moments of my life as I can, I'm gonna try to keep all the good moments in my mind & soul because they're gonna be there for me when tough moments descend. Honestly, I don't know if I'm gonna make it or not but I'm gonna give it a shot.


May you all find happiness=)

Crazy Diary :D:D

Have you ever had an imaginary friend when you were little? You did, right? What was his name? Zizo? Mohamed? Lolo? Barbie if you're a girl? Personally, I can't remember my imaginary friend's name. Actually, I can't remember if I had an imaginary friend or not :D:D. But still, I can tell you something about imaginary friends & me; I still have some imaginary friends!!! Yeah, I'm a twenty-year-old-to-be & I still have imaginary friends..with a little difference of course. For instance, I don't talk to myself out loud pretending to be talking to them , it doesn't mean that I'm not talking to myself out loud, & I don't offer them any of my stuff like we used to offer them our toys & candy. It's just that I conjure them up in my mind, conjure up conversations going on between us, happy moments, tough moments, sad moments, fight moments & any other thing that can go on between friends.And you know what the funniest thing is? I picture these moments as if we were in a movie. I picture the location, the soundtrack even the camera angles. Do you believe it? Because I can't believe it myself. Oh my God!!! I feel like..like a crazy person.
Oh wait, I'm a crazy person & everybody knows that already:D:D
You know, whether this was crazy or not, I would go on with my imaginations because they make me happy :)

May you all find happiness :)

You should never forget



 
I stayed like that for weeks, wanna write something, actually, trying to write something but I just couldn’t. Actually, I didn’t know what exactly to write about until that day, the day when I went to my dentist. The day when he told me he needed to operate on my teeth. The day when the pain knocked on my door. Well, the operation itself was no big deal but the complications were. Regardless of the details, I had hard complications & instead of easing, the pain became worse every day that I had that feeling that the pain will never go away. Trying to make myself stronger, I started telling myself that I’ve been through worse & that at the end of the day the pain will go anyway. But then I thought to myself, ‘No. I have never been through worse. This is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, the worst pain any one could experience’. And that was the moment when I knew what exactly I’m wanna write about. I’m writing about Pain & how we always deal with it.
According to the dictionary, pain is the feeling you have when some part of your body hurts. But according to us, humans I mean, pain isn’t just the feeling we have when something goes wrong with some organ of ours. For us, pain is the feeling we have when things go wrong with anything, a relationship, a career, anything. It’s actually strange how anything can be a source of pain, but you know what’s stranger, how we deal with the pain or in other words, how we react to it. Every time we are in pain, the first thing that comes to our minds is that’s the worst, most painful thing that has ever happened to us, that we can never go through worse & sometimes we think that it will be a miracle if we survived that pain. But then, that pain eases & eases then it heals or in the worst case becomes unnoticeable & we go back to the life journey until some other pain strikes & the cycle goes on. It’s so ironic how every pain is the worst pain we could ever have or that’s what we tell ourselves every time we’re in pain. But why do you think we do that? Is it because we need sympathy? Is it because we’re too fragile to take painful situations? Well, personally, I think it’s simply because we forget. Life keeps us busy & we forget. We forget about the hard times as well as the good times we’ve been through. We say that life is all about experience but though, we forget about our own experiences. What I’m trying to say is that your life, your experiences, your happy moments or even your painful moments are valuable.  That everything is happening for a reason so try to find out that reason & once you find it, hold on to it & never forget about it because at the end of the day, it’s not just the pain or the laughter or the tears that matter, what really matters is what we learn from them.

It's V-day !!!


So, today is the 14th of February. For some people, it's an ordinary day but for others, it's the most special day of the most special days; it's Valentine's day. Well, I'm not gonna talk religion here cause I don't know for sure whether it's banned to celebrate V-day in Islam or not & of course I'm not talking that "How to pick the perfect the Valentine's gift" thing!!! What I'm trying talk about here is that thing we're supposed to be celebrating on Valentine's day.Here, I'm trying to talk about love!!
Personally, when I hear the word "love" many questions pop into my head like "What does love really mean?","Is love only related to the male-female relationships as it's pictured in many movies & novels & as it's known for many people?! ", "Is the word 'I love you' is a real taboo like some people think?!", "Is love all about spending the whole night up looking at the stars & crying or listening to love songs & does it really makes one become weak?!". Well, I don't believe in that at all & I wonder why we make one of the noblest & the most essential things in our life seem so shallow & superficial. Not only that but some of us have made it seem like a welfare not a necessity!!! Well, the only reason I can see here is that misperception of ours about love which, by the way, I think we should fix  because... think about it, till when are we gonna live blacked out like this because of the misperceptions we're having of things or people?!!!
Love isn't just about that male-female thing & it's not about spending the whole night up & it's not about love songs or romantic movies & it's definitely not about Valentine's day!! Love is about feeling satisfied about everything in your life, it's about appreciation & contentment with everything you're having in this life, it's about gratitude, happiness, smiling, forgiveness & being there for others whenever they need you. Love is about loving God, yourself,  your family, you friends, your co-workers, your boss, your professors, your neighbors, even your stuff like your laptop or your i pod. Love everything around you & the more love you give, the more love you take & then you can reach the point of "I love life with all its bitterness & sweetness". And when you reach that point, you will probably find happiness =)
P.S."For me, Valentine's day is another day to spend with my family & that's how I celebrate it every year"




May you all find happiness =)
