Faith, Hard Work, and Perseverance

“Never underestimate the power of faith. Those who believe are those who achieve.

Never underestimate the power of hard work. Those who strive are those who thrive.

Never underestimate the power of perseverance. Those who keep going are those who keep growing.”

-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.
