My Tedx talk: Reem Khorshid at TEDxTantaWomen

2014

Few hours ago, I was cussing the hell out of 2013 with my friends, complaining about how it was one of the worst years in my life. Until I grabbed a notebook and jotted down the most remarkable events that took place during it. The good and bad are balanced, the sad and happy are almost racing to the top and I am just sighing because literally speaking, it wasn’t a really bad year as I like to thi nk about it. The thing is, we tend to let sadness float with us wherever we go and that’s why it feels bad for a longer time, unlike happiness which evaporates faster than we feel. I got to say that I have made too many stupid mistakes in 2013 and needles to say, I learnt. So here’s to the year that I like to blame because I won’t blame my insecurities for ever. Here’s to the awesome people I met this year, the forgiving ones I reunited with and to the angry ones who left. Here’s to the differences that made me accept another, to the sad times that made me appreciate smiles and to the hards

A very brief review on The Square documentary.

The thing I like the most about  The Square  movie is not that it's just documenting the whole revolution since the first day till things got messed up. I like it most because I find it equivalent to 3askar kazeboon عسكر كاذبون videos but in a better quality. It shows all the army's crime and the MB's betrayal. It speaks the truth, or it actually saved it before it gets lost within the media's ongoing procedures to brainwash the Egyptians.

Egypt, I am not leaving you till you are cleansed.

I used to feel so hopeless about this place. I remember those chats with friends when I said "I can't wait to graduate to leave this sh*thole". I can actually scroll down to my previous statuses and posts and see how desperate I sounded like after every forlorn incident which occurred during the past two years. But here I am, coming out of my flesh after muting my powerful inner voices. Here I am , not letting my mind trick me nor letting my heart lead me because freedom is way beyond a thought or a feeling. Here I am, letting the positive voices penetrates the fog and be deafeningly heard. I have always believed in the revolution and I still do. I have always believed in the power of people and change. Thus, I am not too hopeful nor too hopeless; I am just waiting for the right moment of change and I won't let it go. We have everything; the streets, the voices, the spirit, the chants and the motto. All is ready for this moment of the real revolution because it sh

The Square

Watching  The Square  movie and getting flooded with flashbacks of the revolution which made me realise that I really love this country, more that I thought. Some scenes piss me off and other calm me down; blends of emotions swamping me. Now, I am sure that I don't really hate this place and I am not willing to leave before I see what I was, and still, ready to take a bullet for. I am not feeling in difference nor hate against this place but its regime. For I know that a country is not just a land or its air or its rulers, for I know that a country is its people and builder; thus, I shall never leave until it becomes what we can truly call a "home".  Tomorrow we will rise and the unjust rulers shall all be gone. بكرة الثورة تقوم ما تخلّي.
