No more nostalgia..
for the first time since 09/11/2004 when i first landed in Dubai, i managed to book a one-way ticket to Lebanon.
Out of respect for this nation, i will hold my tongue with what i feel in the regards of life here...
Going back home, to my Lebanon..
to the mess, yes indeed..
to the worries about the situation, yes indeed..
to the contrast between a life one gets used to in Dubai, and the one awaiting in Lebanon...
to the countless wonderful things about people and nature...
I know all missing arises from a need, once the need is fulfilled the missing ceases, and i will be seeing objectively again..
I will look at the life and situation in Lebanon from a different perspective..
Nevertheless, i always liked it.
The one thing that changed since i left by the end of 2004 is the appreciation i have for my Country, with all its controversies, now i appreciate it even more..
Once i stopped taking it for granted, i realized how valuable it is to me.
Well, i can't wait for it all to BE, just being back home.. where i belong...
Farewell Dubai, i hope never to set foot again on this sand, for any reason except a short visit.

Inshalla mnetle2a bi Lebnen el seneh elli jeyeh! :) I too am going back home for good in less than a year :-D
nour,
just a quick note to apologise for not being able to see you and say bye. i have been away and upon my return to the UAE i was totally swamped.
it has been a pleasure meeting you. best of luck in your new journey. keep me updated about your possible adventure in africa.
good luck.
What a beautiful and peaceful way to speak of Lebanon, with all its problems. I hope one day we can all reach a state of mind about our country and about each other, full of content-full acceptance and goodwill and just basic mercy and love, the true definition of "rida",
"wa la sawfa yu3teeqa rabbuka fa tarda."
and welcome back to the blog-sphere.
