I guess I should apologize first: Using the past tense in the title could be considered a lie. Obviously, one can’t stop the shame entirely since that’s a natural urge. To tell the truth, I’m not the kind of person who gets ashamed easily. But there are a few things I felt uncomfortable with, even though I should be proud about them. That was a problem I struggled with for quite long time, so I’d like to tell you how I overcame it. To give a few examples: I felt insecure about being a feminist, and I felt insecure about being a LGTBQ-Supporter, even though I knew that both things were right...
Gen Z, our generation, is said to be one changing the world. And we are: Fridays For Future, Black Lives Matter – we care more about the world than any other generation before us. But we also are pressured. The world expects us to save it, society tells us to stand in a row. We are growing up on a dying planet. We are constantly losing hope. We are worried about our future. This generation is open-minded and has the desire to learn. We protect differences and celebrate self-love, we fight against social issues like homophobia, we are marching to save the planet. And yet, the other generations...
I said to my mother : - I am bored that I am unable to walk. She said : - God created you a steady rose in the earth, so why deprive the world of your perfume ? I told her : - True your words, my mother. She asked me : - what is your perfume, rose ? I told her : - will, good work and success. ***** I can not walk, but I can fly with my dreams through my words and colors to the world. Do not stop dreaming and flying. ***** Disability does not interfere with beauty and joy, but beauty can move on a special chair for people with disabilities, not just on two legs. ***** Because I believe in...
Being a girl attracts opinions, comments, compliments and, at times, also criticisms. But I see my gender as being an individual entity that not only is my identity but also a huge bolstering force. I am really proud to be a girl. Whenever we celebrate days acknowledging the presence of women, we fail to provide them the full space that they deserve. It is also very crucial to remember the contribution of men towards the true liberalisation of women. Therefore, this day of the girl should not only be a mere celebration but a day recalling the efforts of all those personalities who have helped...
I'm feeling how sad this world is right now how much we as a species are falling apart how humanity is going crazy this world doesn't live, this world doesn't care the people in it are separating, losing each other, losing their love, kindness, honesty, and passion But what if We unite And we become The very best versions of ourselves Together What if We dare to dream We dare to unite And become one What if We share our struggles Our bad days Our happy days And slowly We grow We learn Together As one
Why did humans become so ordered? When did our lives begin to follow a clock, each day the same as the last. The hour at which we eat, the time of day we wake up, the order in which we set the table. The sameness of the jobs we work, the way clothes are hung up on a line. Yes other animals order their lives, but not to the same extreme. Since when did our purpose switch from living to waiting. When did we lose the meaning of Being. Being. I like the word being. It exists. The art of simply existing. Humans have lost the art of simply existing. Our purpose is not real, it is a picture in our...
In a World where we've been taught to put others first, self love can often feel selfish. Let's begin with what is self love. Self love is the foundation of "who we are", everything builds on top of this foundation, so if it is not strong life can be shaky. Loving ourselves is the first step to love other's. As someone said: "You cannot pour from an empty cup" . We need to give ourselves enough love to start loving others and build healthy relationships. Loving ourselves or forgiving ourselves is sometimes, not sometimes but most of the time or maybe all the time, harder than loving or...
This is the age our hearts desire to slip and slide Why should we fear people and try to hide If the world gets upset with us then let it be Lets dance to the rhythm of our hearts and be free Take all the joy in and Shake all the sorrow out Enjoy every second we have as nothing is promised except for this very moment So hurry up and live like there's no tomorrow
"You should put some makeup." "You should wear more beautiful dresses." "You should keep your hair neatly." "Walk properly" "Do exercises. You look fat." People be laughing at my face, Just for the way I look. They be giving me tips, To look attractive, to be "beautiful" But what if; What if I look beautiful to me without any of those? What if I look beautiful without makeup? What if I look beautiful regardless of what I wear? What if I look beautiful even with my messy hair? What if I am more confident the way I walk? What if I am okay with having belly fat? What if I am always beautiful to...
Deprived in guise of empowerment, I am accustomed to all imprisonment. Infirmity is lurking behind the veil of delicacy, Suppressing my voice in the name of decency. My beauty is a mere affectation. I yearn for a long isolation. Yes, I have a moon-lit face, Under enduring vigil of the Sun's mate. I can't boast of my radiance. My life is paying all allowance. Yes, I have the ocean blues eyes, That embodies life's subtle dyes; Where the dreams used to glide merrily, But now shed tears heavily. Yes, I have nimbus like hair, That bear the exploitation like air. The vermilion mark that used to...
Kindness is contagious, and this blog post is about an incident from my childhood when I felt included. When I was eleven years old, a string of disturbing events and traumas from a troubled childhood pushed me into depression, a phase of lost confidence, and silence. I no longer performed well academically or interacted actively with friends and people. That's when one of my teachers noticed there was something wrong that needed to be addressed. She talked with me and my parents about my situation and motivated me to get professional help. She helped me cope with academics and the school...
World Children's Day: A beautiful day that reminds us of the power our precious children possess. They are hope, they are sunshine, they are the torchbearers of a bright future that lies miles ahead of us. On children's day, we look at the various opportunities and arenas of growth this world has to offer to children. It's like a beautiful, multifaceted rainbow, children from all countries, all backgrounds, all genders, all identities and all groups merge together to form a magnificent spectrum of colours and growth and societal uplift. Children are the living form of a seraphic character...
We are always told that one of the sole purposes of living is to dedicate your life to others, to help others, to do something for others, to do something for society. I used to think that I am not someone who can do something for society. How am I supposed to do something for society, when all I ever think about is myself? I am a person with low agreeableness level who finds it hard to sympathise with others in most cases. I am not interested in things like civic engagement. To be honest, sometimes I felt guilty for my personality. For not being able to sympathise with people. I felt like I...
Worthy gains come with a price; an expensive one I mean. Many came to life and thought about making a difference and standing out from the crowd. These people are determined, strong and passionate about their causes. They don’t work to get their faces on cover pages of magazines. Because fame is the last thing they think about while working. People think fame is an indicator for the greatness of the work you do. They are wrong. Because fame is the sword that ruins sustainability for all that you have been building. Talking about success indicators: I would like to highlight what I think is the...
Our globe is home to 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10-24. The youth population is growing fastest in less developing countries, despite the hard circumstances, low living standards and, in some countries, war. “Young people must be at the centre of the post-2015 vision for sustainable development to drive the future we want,” says Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director at UNFPA. As a youth, and unlike many others, I was given the chance to put youthful efforts into one of UNFPA’s biggest events in my home country, Syria. Through that, I was able to see passionate people...
