This morning, Joe’s Box posted an interesting list of his “bloggers’ confessions” and invited others to follow suit. After spending the whole day brainstorming and reading Farrah’s take on it, here are several of mine. Writing is the only activity I have been doing for as long as I remember.

A Year of Beyond Beirut
It’s February the second. Which means that I’ve completed the blogging challenge I set out to do myself. If you asked me when I first started out, I wouldn’t have been so sure that I was going to make it to today, having achieved my goal. But almost 400 posts and a fourth place ranking…
About Blogging
Although the blog has been around since 2011, this iteration turns one next week. The purpose was to document a year of my life through daily posts, therefore forcing me to write something whether I had an idea or I didn’t.

Shaky Confidence
Some days are great. I wake up in the morning, looking forward to the day ahead and feeling strong and confident and ready to take on anything. It’s those days when everything seems to come together: a simple outfit feels great, my hair falls into place, my makeup is neat and drawn just right. But…

Beyond Beirut Continues
The thesis is handed in and the waiting has begun. The day trips are over, the painful goodbyes and see you laters have passed and they now remain part of my memory.

Back to Beyond
Sometimes, you have to give up the things you like to make way for other things that you might detest but really have to get through. In my case, in the past few weeks, I had to give up blogging to work on a health technology assessment project for my Health Economics class that I…
Taking a Walk in Verdun Street
I’m never the one to voluntarily go pick up stuff, take long walks, or go shopping by myself (or with someone for that matter). Which is why when I woke up today, I realized that I may have been just a little crazy when I decided to take a little walk and get some stuff…
