Over the years, I learn something about my self. And I've done some thinking, and reflecting back. In short:
No matter how certain I am about what I want, I will feel doubt again when I get the exact thing I want. So, to know what I want is not my concern anymore. My concern is to be happy with what I have :)
Dry empty rotten garlic
If there is anything I truly want now is to be at Beshara and meet the reality there. Or at least Palestine, and be the change I wana see.

Allah help me, please.
