Journey towards the light

Author's name: Lina Faraj Allah

Why me, father?

- I cannot answer this question, my little one, why you? The world is full of mysteries, events, and phenomena that humanity has not been able to answer throughout the ages.

The sadness that had gripped my heart over what had happened to me had turned into an emotion that overcame all other emotions and remained the dominant theme of my thoughts.

I had to pause and reflect, come to terms with my own pain and grief, embrace myself, cry, tear myself apart, and exercise all my rights to express my pain, so that I could move beyond wallowing in pain and seeking refuge from drowning in its sea.

I will search for a lifeline and hope. The challenges that life imposes on us are a common condition that humans face, but the difference occurs when we accept them, regardless of their size or severity, and then excel in dealing with and adapting to them.
