COVID-19: Living in a history textbook
These past 3 months have been incredibly stressful for everyone. Sometimes, it honestly doesn’t seem like real life. The Coronavirus is claiming thousands of lives around the world. It's not a joke. It's not a drill. It's our responsibility to keep ourselves safe and by doing that, we keep those around us safe too. The proof is in the numbers. It’s in the amount of people whose lives are in danger because of this virus. I beg you. Stay home and wash your hands regularly. Don’t become a statistic. I understand that this is new to all of us. But that's only more reason to stay home and stay safe...
Absolute Magnitude
The world woke up today and everything's upside down with lights running red and hearts turning blue. Not through books, nor crayons, but in empty stomachs and grocery shelves do children's fingers rummage through. I thought it different before, but now it seems it's the day that's dark and full of terrors; while it's in the wee hours at night does one only ever find peace anymore. That's why to those awake both in the night and day, the ones who carry their minds with one hand but don't forget to carry their heart in the other in these times and always—like stars—we may not see all of you and...
The Lockdown
World out there it just seems madness with large spoons of fear, uncertainty and sadness. Watching the news with it's COVID-19 constant coverage, just feels the uncertainty and gives us the blues. There is sickness, there is isolation, there is even death. My fellow citizens, stay at home, follow doctors advise, do your "farudhee zinmaa". Then maybe from uncertainty and gloom, a seed of good can grow, with time maybe it will bloom.
4 Tips for Dealing with the Covid-19 Pandemic
Right now my country is on lockdown and my school’s closed. So I’m studying from home online. I know how upsetting this whole “Crisis” can be so I thought I could share some tips that are helping me cope with it. I tried not to focus on the whole studying part of it but to focus on the Emotional Health part of it. I really do hope it helps…. Get the most out of it If your country or city is on lockdown, if your school is closed or if you're just staying home to be safe, make the most of your time. Most teens now are studying online, so make sure not to be on your device all the time. Think of...
We are all in this together
So, this a quotation that we say in my country, Lebanon, and which means “we are all in this together”. As you know, COVID-19 has spread all over the world, and that made me think that no matter how much we can be different in our different countries, cultures, habits, thoughts… This situation reunites us and shows us that we are not THAT different. The virus can affect me as it can affect any other person around the world! We are all in this together, so we must take care of each other, be kind, be helpful, cheer each other up, and so it can be a first step to the end of discrimination and a...

Migrants: exposed and vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic
Our Humanity is so Important
I think everything that is happening now is beyond what any of could have imagined, but at the same time, it’s testimony to what we can do united under one common goal. Beyond these times, textbooks will speak of the measures we took and didn’t take to combat this global pandemic. It’s in the interest of humanity to set a precedence that we worked collectively to get past this global conflict facing us. Right now there is no color of skin, religious belief, or political alignment that should divide us from achieving a better future beyond now. We must believe in humanity and our ability to...
Love is an anti-virus
With love, we destroy the coronavirus, restore our lives, and make them more beautiful through our solidarity. It is love that makes us feel responsible for the homeland, the planet and the people, and therefore we adhere to preventive instructions for their protection. If you love your country, stay at home, and preserve the lives of your family and neighbors, then it is your duty to protect yourself and others, because we are all like one family, and because the country is the father and we are his children who must protect him from harm. Our father (our country) will suffer if something bad...
Dear quarantined youth
Quarantined Emotional Youth: Hey, just really wanted to check in on you, times are getting hard, especially for us, the sensible kind. We’ve grown in an incredibly overwhelming media situation, and it hits extra hard. Sensibility tends to relate in a universal way with stability, we tend to act as guardians and protectors of the ones we love. We are strong for those who aren’t and put on our bravest face during the day and sit quietly at night. I just wanted to remind you it really does get better, you and I both are reading this and remembering the times we were strong when all we wanted was...
Coronavirus: A blunder on our part?
Is there a takeaway from the coronavirus, one which has left the world grasping for its breath, one which has caused a debacle in our growth? Yes of course there is. We were, and continue to be woefully unprepared for such a situation. They say we should learn from our mistakes. Yet it is only a matter of saying. When it actually comes to execution, we are useless. The coronavirus is nothing new. We have been at the mercy of things microscopic since a long time, the most recent being the SARS. Instead of learning from our mistakes, for which we had a whopping 17 years, we have been caught...
Hope for the world
This is the story of the Olympian God of hope (I invented). He saw how sick and sad and dark the world has become with Coronavirus. So he travels from his cloud to the world and at night, he enters all the rooms of the musicians all over the world. In their dreams he inspires them to spread hope and happiness during lockdown. So the next morning they all go to their windows and balconies and began to play for all the people in lockdown. People find hope again. Doctors and nurses find strengths again and all are happy again. Soon he sits on his cloud, and the world is not all healthy but there...
