about to finish what might be possibly the most important book that I’ve ever read.. 17 pages left out of 700.. and I’m getting emotional and sad.. yes, It’s this amazing.. unfortunately it’s in Arabic, unfortunately it’s not translated..
Reasons why Running is amazing:
1. Ran 2KM with a stranger.
2. Encouraged 2 strangers to keep going.
3. Played football with kids!
4. Met one of my oldest friends’ father.
5. Got invited by a stranger for my post-run water!
I’m thankful for all this!
I’m blessed. Beyond what I can comprehend and count..
"
Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions.
All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
What if they are a little course?, and you may get your coat soiled or torn..
What if you do fail?, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble..
"- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take Me Home, Country Roads
by John Denver
from Hits Blender 2 Pops
"We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know."
- Maya Angelou on why we write. Also see Joan Didion and George Orwell on the same. (via thatkindofwoman)

"
الشك بناء، الشكوك هي الموصلة للحقائق، من لم يشك لم ينظر ولم يبصر ومن لم يبصر بات في العمى والضلال.
Doubt is a process of construction. Doubts are the leads to The Truth. He who did not doubt did not look and see, and he who did not see stayed in the blindness and delusion.
"- Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali.
I don’t know where I’m going with you..
but talking to you makes me feel good, It’s hard I know that we live in different places in this world.. But you always say what I need to hear and want to hear when I’m stressed or mad. You know how to deal with me and my wired-all-the-time brain. You let me think out loud and you love hearing it. and we discuss everything and we’re not afraid of being judged because you, you know what I mean to say and you always take it easy and help me do so..
Yes, we talk every day, but you’re fucking far away..
