Dazzling Forest

“I love trekking through the forest, amid its breathtaking beauty, admiring the stunning shades of green and the golden sunlight shimmering on the leaves of the gently swaying branches. I love the feel of the breeze rushing past me and the sound of the streams trickling. I love the noise of small animals scampering up the trees and the melody of birdsong. I love the tranquility it brings to my soul, the peace of being in my own little world untainted by human presence.”
-Nora Ammar

Writing: an Art That Allows Us to Put Our Thoughts into Words

My brain is a thinking machine that never shuts down. Thoughts are constantly swirling inside my head. I am always overthinking and overanalyzing the littlest things, and pondering questions. My mind is always buzzing and spinning with thoughts, ideas, emotions, scenarios, and conversations. And for that reason, I write. If I do not write everything down and sort out my thoughts and feelings, I feel as if I am drowning in my own thoughts. I feel as if I am choking on my own emotions. I feel as if my head will explode. In writing I find relief. I find peace. I find calmness and serenity. It is my escape.

So what exactly do I write? And what do I write about? Simply, everything and anything. I write everything from poems and short stories to deep quotes and streams of consciousness. I write about anything that crosses my mind. Things that bother me. Events that occur in my life. Or even controversial issues.

I have been writing for almost all my life. I have had this passion for writing for as long as I can remember. It is my favorite pastime, and I find true joy in it. However, I had previously never shared my writings with anyone. I had always kept them to myself. Recently I have decided that perhaps the time has come to share my writing with the world. And that is the reason I made this blog.

To all my dear readers, I hope you find amusement, entertainment, and inspiration in the things I write.
