Birthday





Yesterday my blog aged its first year!!

I can’t imagine that a whole year has quickly passed since I started blogging online.

when I started my first blog, it was much like talking to myself, just the same as my little diary at home where I keep my thoughts, but like a public one

I was coming out of a strange experience, things were different and by time my point of view was changing, being reformed again

My first friends were Froggy, norhan, lemna and juwaireyah, sorted by the time of their visits.

Blogging introduced me to another world I never had an idea about, to different personalities and different cultures that I didn’t know or accept before, yet the most important thing is that it introduced me to my own self.

Throughout this year, I learned a lot about myself , I learned my weak points and my strength, I sometimes hated myself and some other times loved my identity just until I finally understood “ME” partially enough to live in peace

How many friends did I know? I really can’t count, I can’t count how many times we were different but I know we were loving and we mostly understood our differences and appreciated it.

What did I write about? About life, love, silence, Egypt, myself, my country, my friends, my books and about every single thought that I wanted to share with you, I wanted this blog to be like a window to my soul, a wide window that gets you a look to as much contents of my soul as you want.


A whole year passed and now I am out of power, out of power to talk anymore, the time of silence is approaching, really approaching

My friend,

thanks for dropping by and thanks for the nice words :)

I am glad that is how you feel, I am glad you understand what i want to say

we will reach it only if we work on building this mistrust and learn to spot the real problem, which is not between us together rather than between us and the powers that want to take our rights in a free life regardless of our religious identity

finally, I read the article, and yes I agree with most of it, yet i didn't find the results of this conference, like the proposals to solve the problems we face now

Ok, I must tell you that i am deeply disappointed yet somewhere in my heart, there is still living hope that things could finally be better once

Hi Free soul

First congrats and hope u'll celebrate the 10th year :)

I must admit that i got to know u more through ur blog... so also blogging makes us discover about ourselves but also makes us to know people we might already know in real life but not really know, if u know what i mean.

Anyway, maybe we won't have the chance to meet again, but i hope we keep in touch.
take care

Dear Free Soul, It is very nice to celebrate the first year of your blogging, I almost remembered the day but ...
You know sometimes I think that being able to talk or write one's feeling is an honor for him/her, as I see many ppl hide and hide and..come out from their skin the day that it is dead late..
Blogging...it gave me a big big almost biggest gift of my life, a person who means like a world for me, closest one, Dunno whether we will get the chance to meet but still that is a HOPE there in my dead heart...

Lemna, thanks, that is so nice

and yes, me too got to meet wonderful persons i will never forget, and meet aweful persons i will never forget either

but as you said, it is an honor to express what is in my heart and I really enjoyed that much
