To George Michael

Dear George,

I was shocked to read the news that you passed away. That was not expected at all! It is such a loss. You were one of my best friends, though we never met! My good friend is dead!
You know you don't have to meet someone to be friends with. But, if their words affect the way you grow that is even a better reason to become friends, at one side of course!
You taught me good music, added to my vocabulary, emotions, self respect, caring for others, you taught me how to be human!

I get consumed in my day to day life, years pass while am trying to maintain a "good" life. Confusions, disappointments, heartbreaks, but I always knew I got my back. I would always turn to you when I felt the urge to let my emotions rush out of my heart. 

Now I feel old, one of my best friends is already dead. I am not a young woman anymore, only a middle aged stuck in this world. I lost my youth over fake people and lost dreams. 

Regret, is what I feel writing this, one of my dreams as a teenager was attending one of your concerts. And though I have been to the UK twice before, I never considered attending any concert for you! You were my good friend but maybe I was not as good as you after all! It is funny how I forgot yourself, trying to make a life, trying to fit. But, I only realised I were lost when it is too late! You are gone!

Maybe, I can make good use of this shock, and get back on track. Get back on the road that I have always wanted to take. Get back to the one I really am. And whenever I feel tired, I know you will be there for me. 

So long George, see you in a better world than this is...

    Awesome Naela, I swear I catched a tear or two were about to go down my eyes while I was reading.

    Although I'm not much fan with George Michael, but it really touched me, I felt the same feeling when Michael Jackson passed away, it was exactly as what you mentioned here dear.

My dream trips :)

I decided to write down my dream trips, since I add more to that every now and then, I'm afraid I will forget something. I really wish to do those trips before I die :). I won't sort them. Whatever is possible to do first, I will. 1. Another visit to the UK, one that's more organized, and maybe for a longer time 2. Spend some time in Paris, three nights is never enough! 3. Angkor, Cambodia! 4. Latin America, didn't decide which countries yet, but for sure I have to drop by Peru to visit a friend there 5. Aswan 6. A trip along the Nile till I reach lake Victoria. I have to drop by each country of the nine, really feel it, breathe it, taste it! 7. Italy, this one will be a long trip, I believe I need to visit every single province there! 8. Bali, Indonesia 9. India...India...India (this one may need a month!) 10. China 11. Planet Japan (Maybe!) 12. Qatar, wanna see the place where I grew up once more :) 13. A trip to the gulf countries in general! 14.

About 2013

How can I start?! 2013 was a special year to me. During the past 10 years, I have experienced a lot, physically or emotionally, personally or career wise. But, in 2013, I literally experienced everything. It was like the sum of all experiences and feelings collected together. I had a loss, a great one, that I lost the interest of living. For the first time in my life, I was diagnosed as depressed! I experienced sickness, that I had to spend a lot of time lying and not able to move. For the first time in my life, I know how bad it feels to be sick and paralysed, weak and helpless. I was even in a relationship that let me learn a lot about myself, seems that what I've already known was not enough! But, I can state it loudly, 2013 I am grateful to you! You are the year for determination for me. A lot of things were clear during this year. A lot of decisions were made. Roads were crossed. And, I started moving on to where I know I wanna be. I quit my career. I started a business. I...

"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."

The Prophet ~ Khalil Gibran
