Flowers on my doorstep

I wake up late this morning. Like everyday, I get ready in a hurry, I open the door to check the newspaper before I leave. And, for my surprise, I find a beautiful basket of flowers. "Whom is the cute one who ever thought to send this to me?" I thought to myself. I pick up the basket to check the card attached there. "The card is not signed!!! It gotta be him". Now, all the happiness within me turns into rage! I wish I can see him now to punch him in the face! "How dare you! After all those years. Now, you remember me!! Where have you been all this time?! Why now! How can you be so evil! How I hate you!!"...

Now, I start hearing a different voice, saying exactly the opposite!

Voice 2: Why are you being so cruel! You know it's not his fault!
Voice 1: No.. It's him, If he just mentioned it, life would have looked so different now!

Another voice joins the fight!

Voice 3: Oh God! Why is this happening to me! I thought it was all over! Why, after all those years!
Voice 2: Please, listen to me, you gotta believe me... It's all your fault, you are the one who didn't give him any chances!
Voice 1: Don't believe him!! He's the one who always caused you pain! Can't you see?!
Voice 3: Yes, you are right! He always caused me pain. He never cared for my happiness. He always likes to play those strange heroic roles.
Voice 2: Can you just listen to me, for once in your lifetime for God's sake!
Voice 1: Now, what do you want to say? He's kind, right? He loves me!? I'm the one who started all that! I'm the reason for wasting all those years.. I'm the one who caused MYSELF all this pain! That's what you want to say!
Voice 2: Seems you know it very well! Why don't you believe me then!
Voice 1: Because you are pathetic! Can't you see, you still love him, you still believe in him, after all this pain we've been through!!!
Voice 3: Please, stop it both, I'm so much in pain! You are driving me crazy...
Voice 2: You will go crazy if you don't listen to me this time! Please, for once in your life, believe me!
Voice 1: And what after that, spend the rest of his life in pain!
Voice 2: No... Never, how can you believe I would let you live in pain. I know what I talk about, I know the road to God!
Voice 3: Why do you make me feel this way!
Voice 1: Cause he wants to win the fight! Don't believe him!
Voice 2: Fight! What are you talking about?! I care for you both. It's my role to take care of you, and show you the road to happiness... to God!
Voice 3: Yes, and that road is full of pain.. I know that very well...
Voice 2: Maybe in the beginning it's painful, I know, but, later you will be happy, you will enjoy your life ever after...
Voice 3: Do you believe so?! Are you sure of that?
Voice 1: Ok, now you are starting to listen to him! Are you ready for all this pain??
Voice 3: Why not, maybe he is right.. I never gave him the chance.. I've been following you all those years, and I'm not any happier!
Voice 1: Just believe me this time, I know, I have a good plan for you. Don't you remember this guy? He's been there waiting for you for so long! Why don't you give him a chance??
Voice 2: NOOOO... He's making you sell yourself again, for the first one who knocks your door.. Don't do that, you will regret it!
Voice 1: No, you won't!
Voice 2: No, I'm sure you will. Like every time, you give someone the chance, when he never deserved it. And, you keep pushing, and forcing yourself into a life that you don't want. Then, after a few months, you give it all up!
Voice 1: So what! We'll find someone even better, if this one is not good enough!
Voice 2: Better! Better than whom? You know that no one will be better than him, no one ever felt you the way he does, no one ever loved you as much as him. If you let him go this time, you may never have the chance to be with him again till you die. And you will spend the rest of your life searching in vain!
Voice 1: This will be much better, we are sure then we got rid of him forever!
Voice 3: Yes, this sounds convenient to me! I think I'm satisfied this way!
Voice 2: I won't let you sleep! You will keep suffering the rest of your life.. I won't give you this relief... ever!
Voice 1: Don't listen to him... Please, confide in me!
Voice 3: hmmmm....
Voice 1: I won't ever let any one touch you, or harm you by any means.. It's my job to keep you safe!

Now, I think to myself "So, what we're gonna do with those flowers?! Let them burn in hell, just as I wish he does!"

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.

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.

What a WONDERFUL world!

On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Send love, receive love!! This is what I experienced this year. As everyone knows, today happened to be my birthday! And, for my surprise, I got the highest number of birthday wishes ever!! I even got wishes form someones that I never expected they will!! The thing, that NEVER happened before! NO words can tell how happy I felt for those wishes. YOU all made my day :)) Though, I was wondering, why this year specially, what happened, what is the change?!! I kept wondering. Before, yes, I always loved everyone around me, never hated anyone. I know, I was too busy before with the much trouble I lived in. Maybe I didn't have much time to turn to people around me. I know this year was different, I started to concentrate more on people. But, still I don't believe this is the reason why. Later on, after a lot of thinking and wondering and remembering, I remembered that in the past few days, while attending a course for PHE, we did some exercise, an ex...

The easy path or the right path?

We are frequently challenged in life, life would ask a question and throw many answers from which we have to choose only one. By human nature, we tend to choose the easiest answer, which is unfortunately the wrong answer. You were challenged in the first place to grow, to learn something new about life or about yourself. It is a chance that life offers you to mature, to become a better version of you. Choosing the "easy" answer, or path won't take you anywhere. You will only keep running in spirals and you will have to face the same question again. When life throws a challenge in your way, take your time, think, find which of them makes you most uncomfortable. That is the right answer...the right path. All you need to do then is take the "leap of faith"...and before you know it all your fear will be gone, and everything becomes under control. Never let fear choose for you!
"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."
