A letter from February 11th, 2025

Time Travelled — about 1 year

Peaceful right?

Wherever you are now, do you remember how you felt in this moment? Im listening to the song Ala Babee Waqef Qamarayn, and with its lyrics, the images keep flooding my mind: "On my mind, there are two moons, one in the sky and the other dearer than the eye." strange feeling overwhelms me; one moon is close, stuck in my heart, yet too far.. while the other is, up in the sky, watching me from a distance.
Right now, it feels like my life revolves around nostalgia, around memories, around the past I left behind while Im here facing new challenges in university. Soon, we'll finish the first semester. I dont know if I'll  ever survive this world. So many days filled with pain, longing for everything that once was in my life. I miss my family unbearably and wish to see them as soon as possible. Life has changed, but I still carry beautiful memories with me, and it feels like everything is lost, everything is far away.
But despite all this, I've learned acceptance. I've learned that life isn't always how we want it, but it always gives us what we need. I still love listening to the songs of Umm Kulthum, Mayada El Hennawy, Melhem Barakat, and most of all, Kazem El Saher. Those songs are my refuge.
My life is full of nostalgia, but in this painful feeling, I find my strength. I live between the chapters of the past and the dreams of the future, holding on to moments that I believe will stay with me forever. The days may be hard, but I've learned that acceptance is what keeps me moving forward.
I hope you have found peace in your future. Don't t forget, no matter the challenges, there's always beauty in the pain. 
-Razan, or what baba calls us "Ghazal"
