Naked But Not Free

There is an extreme pain in silence.

Let me tell you exactly where we are.

I had some of the most remarkable conversations of my recent time in France — sharp, well-aligned, genuinely illuminating exchanges with some of the most educated and articulate people I encountered during the entire trip.

Before you were even born, you had already captured everything — all our attention, all our love, all the hope we didn’t know we were still capable of carrying.

You know what I love?

I have always been proud of having friends from around the world.

After almost a year of living in Dubai, I came back to France for a vacation.

I am not a people person.

In October 2023 I was still adapting to life in France — the language, the culture, the rhythms of a completely different world.

Life has been happening for so long that we forgot how long it's actually been going.

I always had an inferiority complex about being Lebanese.
