Exploring, Experiencing and Creating. Nothing is what it looks like.

[books-n-quotes]

I think perhaps love comes from finding someone you feel utterly comfortable with, someone who makes you comfortable with yourself. It’s like…finding yourself, or maybe it’s like finding the other part of yourself.

Candice Proctor, Whispers of Heaven (via books-n-quotes)

The not so fabulous destiny of Amélie Poulain

I first saw Amelie two years ago, i can not describe how this movie touches me and leaves me with a smile on my face every time i watch it. I can relate much to Amelie, her introverted childhood, the worlds she created inside her head to entertain herself and escape the sad events of life and the boring reality, how she pays attention to things people usually do not notice, the way she admires her favorite things, she knows how to spot beauty in the surroundings, the little things she likes and feel in harmony with are enough to keep her going.

In search of happiness she tries to connect with others on her own way, Amelie discovers what a great pleasure it is to help other people, to fix their lives anonymously. However things don’t always go the way they were expected to be, most of the time, when it comes to love, she refuses to settle for mediocre relationships, it is much more interesting inside her head, the way she pursues love is as awkward as her, but it is the only way she knows, the only way she enjoys, she could be rational and do things the usual way people do it, but that is the last thing she might want. She might be perceived as a naive girl, but for her it’s not a problem she’s happy with her world, she’s content with the good she does, even if she doesn’t get recognition for it.

At the last scene, there is a moment where she catches herself daydreaming again about things that are impossible to happen, she can’t help crying before she realizes that her dreams are actually coming true, of course because it’s a movie there is a happy ending and she gets what she dreamed of, in reality, i guess my life is stuck at the moment where she cries in despair, nothing goes as planned. However i know things are not supposed to always go the way we want, and we should accept that we might never get what we dreamed of having, but we should keep on trying, it’s not just about the result, it’s about the trial as well. Surprisingly enough when people get old they don’t regret the mistakes they have done but rather the things they haven’t done, to live a life that is full of mistakes and failed trials is better than never trying and never knowing what might have happened. “You don’t have glass bones like me, you can knock against life, If you let this opportunity slip away, then, as time goes by, it’s your heart that will become as dry and fragile as my bones. So, Go for it!” -The old neighbor’s words

بالأمس رأيت أحداً يُشبِهُك

في ظهر ذلك اليوم، التقيتُ به، الممثل الغير مشهور، يشبِهُه كثيراً، لاشك أنه تقدم فى السن الآن ولكنه يبدو مثله من عِدة سنوات، انفعلت بشدة وقمت بتوبيخه، لا أذكر سبب إنفعالى، لا أذكر ردة فعله وقتها، تركته وذهبت.

أثناء نزولى فى المصعد وجدت حارس العقار الجديد، ظل يحدق بى، لا أحب الأشخاص الجدد، سيمر بعض الوقت حتي يعلم أننى لست من الأشخاص الودودين لا أحب تبادل الأحاديث وبالتأكيد لا أفضل أن يحدق بى أحدهم.

وصلت إلى خارج الحى عند نقطة إلتقائه بحى المهندسين، ذلك المكان الذي اعتدت المجىء له منذ إثنى عشر عاماً، أين الكبرى الذي تم تشيبده من بضعة أشهر، هل تمكنت أخيرا من السفر عبر الزمن، اللعنة، الكهرباء مقطوعة، يبدو الشارع مظلم تماماً على الجهة الأخرى، أخشى عبوره، لا أدرى ماذا ينتظرنى علي الجهة الأخرى، ربما كان هناك متحرشين أو أحداً يتعاطي المُخدِرات، لا يُمكننى المجاذفة في هذا الوقت المُتأخِر من الليل.

جائت علي دراجتها النارية تسير بسرعة، مخترقةً حواجز الليل، لم أرها منذ عدة سنوات، توقفت صديقيتى الغير مُقربة وكأنها أتت من أجلي وطلبت مني الركوب معها، شعرت بالإمتنان فلن أضطر لإنتظار عودة الكهرباء.

سارت بنا علي أرض شارع السودان اللامعة بسبب هطول المطر، إقترحت هى أن نذهب إلى مكتبة الإسكندرية، أظهرت حماسى فى البداية، فكل ما يتعلق بتلك المدينة يثير إهتمامى، ثم أدركت صعوبة ذلك فإعترضت، متعللة ببرودة الجو، كيف سنذهب فى هذا الوقت وهذا الجو وبهذه الدراجة!

أقنعت صديقيتى أن نبحث عن منزل ذلك الرجل، لا شك أنه يسكُن هُنا في المهندسين، إنعطَفَت يساراً للجهة الأخري من الشارع وذهبنا إلى شارع سوريا، دخلت إحدى البنايات وتركتُ صديقتى بالخارج، صعدت إلى الطابق الأول، وجدته يقف أمام باب شقة، اقتربتُ منه ومددت يدى لأصافحه وأعتذِرُ مِنه، مدّ يده ليُصافحنى وقد ضغط على يدى بحرارة، أنا آسفة،مكـ…وقبل أن أُكمِل كلامى إقترب مِنى وقبّلنى وكأنهُ قرأ ما دار برأسى.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you'll never ever trace it to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there is: it's what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel loved.''

Charlie Kaufman

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.

There are some common things between you and painkillers, you temporarily relieve the pain, have harmful side effects, and both of you are addictive.

Confirmation bias is the human tendency to only seek out or believe evidence that confirms a thesis that we want to be true.

هؤلاء الذين لم يخفقوا يوماً لا يستحقون الحياة من لم تكن له ذلة من لم يرسب في اختبار من لم يصدم سيارته من لم يرفض في وظيفة ليس بشراً بل شمعة عملاقة فاكهة بلاستيكيةتزين الطاولات في بيوت أسر الطبقة المتوسطة المتظاهرون دوماً بالنجاح الذين يقبلهم الجميع فتيان وفتيات الأحلام أبطال القصص...

People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
