A short while ago, I wrote a post expressing my frustration at how the blogging scene in Lebanon has really taken a turn for the worst, with the so-called influencers dominating the scene with their hyper-stylized photos and their horrible take on the English language. Of course, the content is abysmal to say the least….

Bloggers, You’re Doing It Wrong
You may have noticed that I’ve taken extended hiatuses recently. I’ve left this blog without new content for months on end, despite having plenty to share. The main reason? I don’t like going online as much as I used to. As a writer, I have always been grateful that the internet has given me a…
20 Blogging Confessions From Beyond

The Infinity Dreams Award
I have to say, this is pretty cool. I’ve only been blogging (again) for about two and half months as a way to document my experiences and to take a break from everything that’s going on and focus on my happiness. I never expected that a lot of people, old friends and new, would read the blog…
A Beautiful Spring Day (and I’m at Work)
It’s a beautiful spring day and almost everyone is off from work to celebrate Easter and to just have a great time with their families and friends. Plenty might have planned road trips as my fiance did yesterday. I didn’t go with him but he sent me this amazing panoramic view from somewhere up in…
