The first thing I'm doing if the ceasefire goes through in Gaza?
The first thing? God, I don't know if I can give a clear answer, because we've simply started to survive one day at a time.
But let me tell you, the first thing I'll do... is to breathe. Yes, breathe air without fear, raise my head to the sky and know there's no plane above us, that the only sounds I hear are sounds of life.
After that? I'll run. Run through our streets that have become rubble, look for my family, my friends, any signs of the life that once was.
I will run after the graves of my friends and relatives whom we know nothing about, try to tidy the graves a little, and say: my friend, the fire has calmed, we can now have a moment to ourselves without fear.
I will go back to our house, collect some memories from under the rubble, I might find a photograph or a piece of cloth or even a scent that once lived there.
I will sit with my family under the tent that sheltered us in place of our house, and I will try to tell them that tomorrow will be better, even if I don't believe that myself.
After that? I will dream. I will start drawing new dreams, small dreams... like a cup of tea on a quiet morning, or big dreams... like rebuilding our house.
And you, if you heard the news of a ceasefire, what's the first thing you're doing?
I will rebuild my family's house, and look forward to a new life full of love and peace.
