What is there in Life that still awaits HER?!

AT 14
- SHE fell in love with someone who was in love with a close relative of HER's.
- HER brother and soulmate passed away, he was 16.

At 17
-SHE had to move from her birth country, and to leave all her childhood memories and friends and go to HER country of nationality. SHE had to start a new life, start from scratch. New friends, new places and new routine. It was very tough to adapt and to make new friends in HER own country. It took HER more than a year to start feeling 'normal' living in her country.

At 18
- SHE fell in a 'wall crashing' love that lasted almost three years. They were great happy years until....

At 21
HE got engaged.
SHE went into depression and cried for 8 months until SHE decided that SHE wanted him out of HER system, and SHE succeeded.

SHE had to attend his wedding. YES!!! SHE was invited, and YES SHE went, and yes SHE was very ok!
REMARK: YES! He proposed to the wife while he was still in 'love' with HER ! AND his reply to all those who accused him of hugging HER & stabbing HER back was "leee sho feee?" (Why? What's wrong?)

At 24
-HER family had to move away from HER country of nationality. SHE couldn't go with them. HER family was split although HER parents were not divorced and none of HER brothers or SHE were married.
SHE thought SHE would die away from HER family but as soon as SHE started to adapt and to look at the bright side of the picture...

At 25
Lebanon was attacked.
SHE had to live the war for 33 days with all the attacks and the cruelty of killing and the deaths of innocent people. SHE cried nonstop and thought HER heart would stop beating at any moment due to sadness and agony SHE felt inside. SHE felt helpless, there was nothing one could do to the people who died or got severely injured.
However, and since today SHE feels 'ok' and that the 'moment' of the war was over, although it is even more difficult to get the normal life back as before the war, SHE still survived and SHE wonders...

WHAT STILL AWAITS HER????

Freedom?!!

" While i was fighting, i heared other people speaking in the name of freedom, and the more they defended their unique right, the more enslaved they seemed to be to their parents' wishes, to a marriage in which they had promised to stay with the other person 'for the rest of their lives,' to the bathroom scales,to their diet, to half finished projects, to lovers to whom they were incapable of saying 'No' or 'it's over,' to weekends when they were obliged to have lunch with people they didnt even like. Slaves to Luxury, to the appearance of the appearnace of luxury. Slaves to a life they have not chosen, but which they had decided to live because someone had managed to convince them that it was all for the best. And so their identical days and nights passed, days and nights in which adventure was just a word in a book or an image on the television that was always on, and whenever a door opened, they would say:
"I'm not interested, I'm not in the mood"
How could they possibly know if they were in the mood or not if they had never tried? But there was no point in asking; the truth was they were afraid of any change that would upset the world they had grown used to."

Those fabulous words are from a book "the Zahir" by the great writer "Paulo Coelho".

Since i totally agree with Paulo Coelho, and since his words have inspired me and convinced me that the time to change is now, and since i have started to change many things in my life, i thought i would start my blog with his words, they might as well influence other people.
