Writing to you gives me company

I’m a globie girl that wants to explore as much as possible of the world and get do know more about different cultures. I was born to travel. (Will get to the travelling part later) I am from Cairo and have Turkish roots like most of Egyptians. I was born in Vienna, were I was raised and spent my teen - year’s. Vienna plays a big role in my life. If I started to talk about my love to this country, it’s a never-ending love story and I won’t finish today. - I need to finish because I still got a lot to do for today, maybe in another post -.  People who know me very well, know that I regard Egypt my country and my home, but not only because of my roots, family and friends who live there, but because I truthfully love it. There is something about Egypt and until this moment know one has figured out what is this “Something”. If you talked to any Egyptian who lived abroad especially in a not Middle Eastern country, he will understand what I’m saying. Unfortunately, Egyptians...

Secrets

Secrets can't be hidden. Through out our lifespan our secrets will be exposed one day. Within the walls of your life, the truth will be stripped bare. One thing is certain, whatever it is we’re trying to hide, we’re never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked. That’s the problem with secrets –like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until they take over everything… until you don’t have room for anything else. The thing people forget is how good it can feel when you finally set your secrets free. Whether good or bad, at least they’re out in the open… like it or not. And once your secrets are out in the open, you don’t have to hide behind them anymore. The problem with secrets is –even when you think you’re in control, you’re not!

Duel

It feels as if words are stuck in my throat and my tongue is very closely cramped tied. My fingers have stopped craving… and my mind stopped thinking… I’m standing frozen! I thought it was a phase just for few days… But days followed weeks and weeks followed months and months followed year and year after year... And all of a sudden they became three years. I stopped writing for three years! It’s not that I didn’t have an idea to write about. In fact I had it all in my mind… But I wasn’t able to put them down. I wasn’t ready to fill these pages with what I feel. It was too much… Too much that you could actually feel how it was burning… It was too much to handle it… It wasn’t easy to dissect my heart and let it seep, flow down in feelings and emotions. My heart was set on fire! Nights and Mornings became all the same... to the point that you won’t be able to recognize the difference. There was no life. No soul. All you could hear was the voice of silence. You would wake up v...
Making mistakes is what make us humans. In the other side, forgiving humans is what gives us the ability to live together. "ليس عيباً أن نرتكب خطاً، لكن العيب أن لا نعتذر وأن لا نكابر، وخير الخطاؤون التوابون"

The Power of Graphic Designers

We live in a world of technology and with that technology has come a lifestyle that has been surrounded by graphic designs. Life on the web is all about the graphic design of the content that is placed on the net everyday. Every piece of new content that comes on the web everyday comes with some form of graphic design to entice the presentation of that new information. It does not stop on the web though. Think about the books you read the simple covers and pictures that are there to help tell the story. The comic books that tell stories in complete graphic presentations. The movies we watch or the TV shows. Even the newspapers present their articles with some sort of graphic design no matter how simple it may be it’s there to help catch the eye and increase the value of what you are looking at or reading at that moment. The work of graphic designers is used everywhere. From the simplest of road signs to the ATM’s at banks they all have some sort of graphic to get your att...

Simply as that

“I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you, and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful. If not, it can’t be helped.” - Fritz Perls
