dear life 42

dear life,
nearing the end of our one-month vacation, everything is less vivid than the first day, mixing up my thoughts more than ever before. we left on the day that the results of the presidential elections came out and the destiny of our country took an unexpected turn. that result brought me to think not only of what is going on in my country, but of what is going on with me. what i really want is now a matter more vague than ever before. i am not sure of what i want more than everything else for my near future, and i am thinking day and night of what i would do if dared to dream my dreams (are my dreams for real or not?) and what i could do if i dared to change, to accept new situations, and to benefit the possibilities i have. you know life, i am afraid to take the first steps, and your helping me would mean a world to me. i am reaching to you for help (maybe you just need to show me somehow that i should pay more attention to receive the signs you are sending me). waiting for your kindest reply.

dear life 41

dear life,
last night we took part in the joyous marriage celebration of two love birds who came from two different cultures, spoke different native langauges, yet shared love, passion, and respect for each other. they gave their hearts and lives together in a simple yet beautiful ceremony attended by people from all around the world. Jewish and Muslim, Iranian, American, and Israeli guests sat together to witness their celebration of love and peace. saying their vows to share the future, the love birds were proof that no matter what your culture, no matter what your origins, no matter what your lables, you can open up your heart and you can join each other to face the world and the challenges it brings you with nothing but love, respect, and pure intentions. shall they live with love and peace as all the world deserves the same.

dear life 40

dear life,
last night i had a beautiful dream of a beautiful friend. a friend who opened my heart to love and life so many years ago, securing an eternal place for himself among my memories of the carefree days of teenage life. i may not have been for him what he was for me, but no matter what i still cherish those happy days of my journey. i have not heard of him for so long and have no idea of what has become of him, so i am asking you to send him my thoughts and good wishes wherever he is in this large yet small world. i hope that one day our paths cross once again.
