“The girl who creates beauty”, by Reda Maged

Sunday 25-3-2012

A window popped up on gtalk, with Reda saying I have something for you. I said “OK”, expecting that he is asking for my opinion in one of his paintings. I downloaded it, told him “love it!” and added some suggestions. He paused, and said “you don’t recognize yourself, right?”.

That’s how he called it, and that’s me in his painting! I was truly flattered… Thanks Reda :)

My buddy Hatem is gone, traveled on the 10:00 am plane to Germany.

May we meet again…

At Cairo 1984, we just sat and continued our heart to heart discussion that had been carrying on for 2 days before. I think I will never forget that day, we had lunch together, drank some coffee, laughed, … Our honesty was frightening.

It’s been a week now, my days are a little bit empty and slow, I have more time to think about my work, my personal life, and a lot of nonsense in between.

I stopped setting my alarm, I just sleep, and my brain just wakes me by 7. I stay in bed for about 2 hours, thinking some useless thoughts, and then get dressed for work.

I thought about traveling for a while, after finishing my masters, starting a small business,… I guess it’s all positive till now.

I am babbling, I know.

Thanks InniMnih, I absolutely love it :)

The view from my room, which I have been living in for about 24 years. Every night, I see the light from their window.

I feel so down, I really need someone to talk to, but there’s nothing to say. I feel alone, bored, and depressed. Just cursing here makes me feel much better.

I get depressed whenever I stay at home, I always believed that’s because I tend to overthink stuff. Why do I always need to be occupied to get the feeling of being happy and fulfilled, this can’t be right. 

I just got back from Aswan last week, I had so much fun, then I got back to the same old routine. My sole wish now is to have the freedom and the money to travel. I feel suffocated…

I can feel a lot of rage building up inside me. At these moments, I even scare myself.
