What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?
Hi there, my dear me,
Life runs so fast, my dear 20-year-old me, but life is good with all its hard and sweet days.
This is not a spoiler, by the way… just bits and pieces, little hints about life, our life.
You, my dear me won’t believe what the future has stored for you; what the Almighty has planned for you.
Think, imagine, and dream as much as you can, yet you wouldn’t come any close to reality.
By the way my dear 20-year-old me, I still remember uni studies, small circle of friends, dreams, job plans after graduation, and… Egypt, with its warm days and humorous people.
Oh… that was a slip of a tongue.
But yes, you will have a second Home.
Whatever you’re thinking right now, Egypt will always be present in your life.
Everything change, right, my dear 20-year-old me?
So be prepared.
Mama and Baba used to criticise Egypt —the Egypt where you live now, saying, “Where have those old good days gone? People are not the same anymore, manners aren’t not the same, even food isn’t the same.
You will get married soon, my dear-20-year-old me.
Your prince will take you far away.
Children will arrive safe and sound, and they fill your life with joy and blessings.
Challenges, adventures, confusion, disappointment, tears, laughter, and many more welcome and unwelcome visitors will knock your door along the way.
So… don’t forget to be grateful, and always count your blessings.
And from now on, be proud of yourself my dear 20-year-old me,
for the more challenges you face, the more lessons you will learn.
And the more lessons you learn, the more you know how to enjoy life.
And… I know this might sound a bit funny but be ready to live in the new world of AI.
That… well you will discover more in the future.
With my dear 20-year-old -me thoughts,
Nahla
Pure and Simple
