Thanks to my dream team!!

I sat alone at night wondering why things happen that way. Why do we have to get hurt and feel the pain that comes upon us? Life is such a huge struggle and we will never really be able to understand it.

I fight everyday to stay sane but things continue to happen to me making me feel like going crazy. I wish crying would wipe it all away after the last tear drop. Its never over it only sleeps. My heart feels like its about to burst with all of its sadness and when I feel that I have finally found that certain happiness to take its place, it all happens again practically the same way. My world seems to be set on a loop, with different characters each time.

We fight battles everyday with our bodies, mind and soul. We just have to push through and make the best of it.

I realized that we need to Live, Love, and just Learn from it all. Don’t let anything drag me down or make me less then what I truly am. Keep smiling and have my whole life ahead with bright eyes and clear skies.

Challenging others is easy, but supporting them is a bit more difficult. Give to them what I wish I could receive and build a stronger individual through a stronger group.

Today in the middle of a stormy sea, I found angels without any wings, blessing my life with the most precious things (love and support).

Thanks to my friends, to those angels who welcomed me in their group (our group), and make me feel that I’m enjoying a sunny day with them.

Sweden

 

I have some time – so why not talk about my trip here and my thoughts on Sweden.

I am with the Swedish Institute and the Young Leaders Visitors Program. It is a great trip; I met a lot of friends.

Was I ready for my first look at Sweden through my own eyes?

Yes, I was… I took a deep breath and counted to 3, slowly I leaned over towards the window and I saw…

TREES, TREES, WATER, TREES, WATER and more TREES!

This is my first visit to Sweden. During this brief visit, I have been deeply impressed by the beautiful landscape.

What exactly did I love about it?  What made Sweden attractive?

This you will know after I finish my trip and go back to Egypt to reflect a little, so wait and don’t rush me.
