learnin arabic so i can help more homeless ppl in work find the right part of the building to go to (a lot of our clients seeking housing are arabic-speakers) and so far i’ve got khud yimeen il-nasya, which either means “turn right at the corner”, or “turn right for the execution” or “turn right and forget everything”. i am not good at arabic.

بينما أظن إنى بلا إنجازات، تذكرت بأنني لوحت لكثير من الأطفال، وابتسمت في طريقي الكئيب للكثير من العابرين، تحملت صعوبه أفكاري وقلقي وحدى.. وسهرت ليالي كثيرة أداوي من جراح آخرين.. عانقت أصدقائي كثيرا، وقبلت أمي مرازا.. تجاوزت الكثير من الخذلان، والأحلام التي لم تتحقق وبنيت أحلاماً أخرى.

وأخيرا "أنظر في عيون أصدقائي فأرى الكثير من الحب".. وهذا كان إنجازي الأكبر.

-حبيبة هشام

While I think that I am without any achievements, I remembered that I've waved to a lot if children, I've smiled in my gloomy path to many passers-by.

I have dealt with the hardships of my thoughts and my anxiety alone. and I have stayed up many nights and consoled other's wounds. I have hugged many friends of mine. I have kissed my mother many times. and I have went past a lot of disappointments, and unfulfilled dreams and I built other dreams.

and at last "I see a lot of love in my friends' eyes and this is my biggest achievement."

-Habiba Hisham

A (re)introduction: 

January 2, 2022

Hello, my name is Allegra and I am 22 years old. I have lived my entire life in Canada but I also have Italian citizenship. Although this blog is a few years old, I have been very inconsistent on here with lots of physical and mental health issues. My main goal this year is to work on scheduling my life and being able to do things rather than go through constant cycles of depression. 

That being said, I have three goals for languages this year: 1) start speaking Italian again. (I got stuck in Italy by myself in the beginning of the pandemic. That plus a lot of other things made me stop speaking/listening to Italian when I got home and I have lost so much). I am supposed to be in Italy this May for a class and I am hoping that I will be comfortable in conversational Italian by then. I want to start with the basics at A1 (no matter how painful it will be lmao) and then progress to the intermediate level. 2) Improve my French and graduate with distinction. Unless COVID screws everything up, I will be graduating this fall and I hope to then take the CEFR for my resume. My goal is to either be a B2.3 or C1 at this time. 3) Start learning Egyptian Arabic. My boyfriend is from Egypt and I want to learn the language to be able to communicate with his family. I always wanted to learn Arabic but I have been terrified to start due to the fact its so hard for a native English speaker to learn but he is a catalyst in this journey for sure lol. 

If your active on Tumblr, pls feel free to become a mutual or just message. 

Lots of love,

Allegra
