Dear reader,
It’s been 2 years since I last published anything. 2 years of learning, of growing and discovering.
I think it’s safe to say, I’m not who I used to be.
Reading what i wrote, it no longer mirrors me the way it used to, no longer tells my story and draws my thoughts. And that made me wonder if we’re ever really who we perceive ourselves to be and if we can, consequently, map out who we want to be, sculpt ourselves, shape our futures.
Looking back at what I wrote, I never thought I’d be where I am today. I find myself reading words full of doubt, of uncertainty. Words that weigh between two options not knowing which to choose, words that shake with fear of oblivion, words that want to escape the inevitable.
I’ve grown to be more accepting, of the past, of the present and of the future.
I’ve learned to let go of resentment, fear and anger and accept whatever it is coming my way. It’s never easy to see the big picture. We’re so convinced that looking closely and getting nearer will lead us onto the right path when that couldn’t be further of the truth. Sometimes it’s having trust, being brave and being distant that makes you see things clearer.
I’ve grown to understand the difference between sight and vision. Looking at the facts, it sometimes seems as though nothing could go wrong. Vanity consumes us, we feel in control. I’ve learned that facts can mislead, that sight and calculation are never accurate. I’ve learned that we need to see beyond the figures. We need to see with our hearts, we need to see the light.
I’ve grown to be more lenient, to be more flexible, like water, morphing into whatever the circumstances require, never losing my composition, never changing my texture, always remaining true to who I am.
Water is a great source of inspiration, calm and still but rough and rigid. Flexible and yet destructive. Water shows that being kind, being easy and being adaptable in no way means you are weak. It adds to your strength, it pushes you further.
It’s been 2 years since I last published anything. 2 years of learning, growing and discovering.
It’s been 2 years since I last published anything, and it’s time to start again.
Joyfully yours,
Hanaa
