[Cartoon] Pooh 1

For you, Pooh may be just a cartoon character. You may be one of those who don't even like him.

For me, Pooh is the friend who is always there for me. He is the one who brings me out of sadness, pain or boring mood. He is the one I will never trade with anything in the world. All I know is that whenever I seek for relief or happiness, I go for drawing Pooh or just look to a picture of him. He is the only one that gives me a feeling that I can't describe.

I am not losing my mind. I know Pooh is a cartoon. He isn't real to even use "he". But for all the joy and relief he brought to my life, he is more that real to me. He deserves being "My eternal loyal friend".

Below are pictures I draw for Pooh. I hope you like them.

[Peom] Be Angry اغضب

Whenever I am tired or in a bad mood, I either draw or read poem. As I am having a bad headache, no time to draw and tons of pages to study, I decided to read some poem to relax a little bit. I found this great piece written by "Nezar Kabany", my best poet over all times. And to keep it in mind, I decided to share it with you.

إغضب

إغضب كما تشاء .. واجرح أحاسيسي كما تشاء

حطم أواني الزهر والمرايا .. هدد بحب امرأةٍ سوايا

فكل ما تفعله سواء .. كل ما تقوله سواء

فأنت كالأطفال يا حبيبي

نحبهم .. مهما لنا أساؤوا

إغضب!

فأنت رائعٌ حقاً متى تثور

إغضب!

فلولا الموج ما تكونت بحور

كن عاصفا ً.. كن ممطراً

فإن قلبي دائماً غفور

إغضب!

فلن أجيب بالتحدي

فأنت طفلٌ عابثٌ .. يملؤه الغرور

وكيف من صغارها .. تنتقم الطيور؟

إذهب .. إذا يوماً مللت مني

واتهم الأقدار واتهمني

أما أنا فإني .. سأكتفي بدمعي وحزني

فالصمت كبرياء

والحزن كبرياء

إذهب .. إذا أتعبك البقاء

فالأرض فيها العطر والنساء .. والأعين الخضراء والسوداء

وعندما تريد أن تراني .. وعندما تحتاج كالطفل إلى حناني

فعد إلى قلبي متى تشاء .. فأنت في حياتي الهواء

وأنت .. عندي الأرض والسماء

إغضب كما تشاء .. واذهب كما تشاء .. واذهب متى تشاء

لا بد أن تعود ذات يومٍ

وقد عرفت ما هو الوفاء

As You Wish

"As you wish", a sentence I used to say a lot in a past period. It is only now when I realized what it really means.

"As you wish" is a simple way to escape from your responsibility for bad things happening in your life. It is relieving to think that you only represent the reaction part in all the problems not the action part. It feels as if all these problems came from nowhere, you didn’t start them, or cause any of them. Simply, they just happened. I always knew that it was a false feeling of relieving. But from where I was, I didn’t care much about how true this feeling was, as long as it gave me the peace I needed when I needed.

Now I know something for sure, “You are the action for every little detail that happens in your life. You will never be the reaction.” This is also applied if problems involve someone else but you. If got hurt by someone, you are the one who let him do it. If you had been betrayed by your dearest one, you are the one who trusted the wrong person that much.

I am not a naive, I know bad things happen all the time, but in eighty percent of the time, we cause them to happen either by starting them or by giving up and doing nothing to stop them.

You are the reason why everything is happening to you whether you like it or not.

[Poem] Things I got used to

Over the rainbow, I used to fly.
With the stars, I used to play.
In the night, I used to dream.

You're the one I used to see.
I found my love, I used to think.
I lived happiness, I admit.
I got hurt, I can't deny.

Having you in my life is a blessing or a curse, I don't know.
All I know, my world is a better place because of you.
Thank you, I have to say.

P.S.: Thanks to who inspired me to wrote this piece.

One Little Girl

Once upon a time, there was a little girl living in a quiet city. She wasn’t so beautiful yet people liked her (or so she though). She was funny and intelligent. She had the same friends for many years but she felt lonely for a long time.
One day, she woke up to find herself in a completely different city. New faces, new places, new talks…etc. A city that is different from the world she got used to in everything.
The little girl felt really scared. She felt unsecured and losing control of her life and this was what really freaked her out.
Her insecurity is something that rare people understood it. Security is the thing she was searching for. For someone had built his entire world on feeling secure and being in control of every little detail going in his life, this new city was more like a nightmare for her.
Surprisingly, unlike her habit of running away when she got scared, this time she decided to stay and explore this new city instead of going back. May be this was because she doubt she could go back, but what matters for her that this time SHE STAYED. She thought that she is going to fight to survive but she accepted the challenge.
During her fight in this new city, the little girl discovered that it wasn’t a fight from the start. It was more like a trip. It is true that through this trip, she lived many happy events and more sad ones than she ever lived before, but the experience she got through this trip exceeded what she ever had.
She learned a lot during this trip. She met a lot of great, nice and respected people who she wouldn’t have met if it weren’t for this trip.

She learned how to be independent, trust herself and she started to trust other.
One of lessons she learned from this trip is “There is no prince charming.” May be, there is a prince but not a prince charming. Likely, she also found that the knight of her dreams can be found ….

Our little girl is now a young lady but she is still going in her trip ... hoping for more good stuff to happen…let’s pray for her to reach the end of her trip safely.
