"A Journey of Strength:

A Book for the Egyptian Girl Who Feels Lost"

“zaniar muhamad"
 Introduction

There are feelings that live inside us like shadows—silent, unspoken, yet heavy
enough to weigh down the soul. Sometimes, they whisper in the quiet moments,
and other times, they scream in the silence. But when we try to speak, the words
refuse to come out, trapped somewhere between our mind and our heart.
Hala, this book is for you.
I know you feel different. I know you feel like something is wrong, like you are out
of place in a world that seems to move without you. I can see it in the way you
hesitate before speaking, in the way your eyes carry a weight that no one else
seems to notice. And I know how hard it is—to want to say everything but not
know where to start, to want to be understood but fear that no one truly will.
But you don’t have to explain yourself to be worthy of love. You don’t have to
have the perfect words to be heard. Even in your silence, you matter. Even in your
struggle, you are enough.
This book is not here to fix you, because you are not broken. It is here to remind
you that you are not alone, that your feelings—no matter how strange or
unexplainable—are real and valid. You don’t have to rush to understand them.
You don’t have to force yourself to speak before you’re ready. Healing is not a
race. Growth is not a competition.
This is a journey, one that you don’t have to walk alone.
So, if you can’t find the words, let these pages speak for you. If you feel lost, let
them remind you that you are not beyond saving. And if you ever doubt your
worth, let them be the voice that tells you—you are enough, exactly as you are.
You are seen.
You are heard.
You are loved.
And you are never alone.
 Chapter 1: The Weight of Silence

Silence is heavy. It is not just the absence of words, but the presence of
everything we are too afraid to say. It carries the weight of unspoken fears, of
thoughts we cannot untangle, of emotions we do not know how to express.
Hala, I know how hard it is to carry something inside you that you cannot put into
words. I know what it feels like when the world asks, “What’s wrong?” and you
don’t have an answer—not because you don’t want to speak, but because you
don’t know how.
Sometimes, silence feels safer. If we don’t speak, we don’t have to explain. We
don’t have to risk being misunderstood or judged. We don’t have to face the
possibility that even if we find the words, no one will truly hear us.
But silence is also a burden. The more we hold in, the heavier it becomes. It
presses against our chest, tightening its grip, making it harder to breathe. It turns
our thoughts into prisons, our emotions into secrets we lock away—even from
ourselves.
But here’s the truth: You are not meant to carry everything alone.
You don’t have to explain everything today. You don’t have to force yourself to
speak before you are ready. But I want you to know that your silence is not
emptiness—it is filled with meaning, with stories, with emotions that deserve to
be understood. And when you are ready, even if your voice trembles, even if your
words are imperfect, they will matter.
For now, if you cannot say it out loud, let yourself feel it. Let yourself
acknowledge that your pain is real, that your confusion is valid, that your silence
does not make you invisible.
One day, the weight of silence will lift. Maybe not all at once, but piece by piece.
And when that day comes, your voice will not just be heard—it will be felt.
Until then, know this: Even in your quietest moments, you are not alone.
 Chapter 2: Feeling Odd in a World That Doesn’t Understand

There’s a kind of loneliness that isn’t about being alone. It’s the feeling of
standing in a crowded room and still feeling like you don’t belong. It’s the weight
of knowing you are different but not knowing why. It’s looking at the world and
wondering why it feels like you’re on the outside looking in.
Hala, I know you’ve felt this. The feeling of being odd, like something about you
just doesn’t quite fit. Maybe you’ve tried to explain it, but no one truly
understands. Maybe you’ve even tried to ignore it, pretending you’re just like
everyone else. But deep inside, that feeling lingers—like a quiet voice reminding
you that you are different.
But what if being different isn’t something to be ashamed of?
The world teaches us to blend in, to follow the same paths, to think and act like
everyone else. But the truth is, the ones who feel different are often the ones
who see the world in ways others never will. They notice things others ignore.
They feel things more deeply. They carry questions that others never even think
to ask.
You are not wrong for feeling different. You are not broken because the world
doesn’t always understand you. Some of the most extraordinary people in history
once felt like they didn’t belong. They, too, felt like outsiders—until they realized
that their uniqueness was not a flaw, but a gift.
I won’t tell you that the world will suddenly change and start understanding you.
But I will tell you this: You don’t need their understanding to be whole. You don’t
need their approval to exist as you are.
So, if you feel like you don’t belong, maybe it’s because you are meant to create
your own place in the world. Maybe you are not here to fit in—maybe you are
here to stand out, to be different, to be you.
And that, Hala, is something truly beautiful.
 Chapter 3: The Battle Within

The hardest battles we fight are often the ones no one sees. They are the wars
within ourselves—the ones waged in silence, in the quiet corners of our minds,
where doubt, fear, and uncertainty reside.
Hala, I know you carry these battles. They may not always be visible to the
outside world, but I see them in the way your thoughts sometimes spiral, in the
way your heart races even when no one else knows what you're feeling. You are
not alone in this. The battle within is something we all face.
It’s easy to think that everyone else has it figured out, that everyone else is
moving through life with confidence and certainty. But the truth is, we are all
fighting something—often things no one else can see. We fight to be understood,
to be accepted, to find peace in our own hearts. We fight against our fears, our
insecurities, our pasts.
But here’s the powerful thing about these battles: They don’t define us.
You might feel like you’re losing sometimes. You might feel like the weight of your
emotions is too much to bear, like the battle is too big to win. But even in the
darkest moments, you are growing. Every struggle you face, every tear you shed,
every sleepless night you endure is part of your strength.
You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to know exactly how to fix
everything. The important thing is that you are fighting. You are not giving up.
You are showing up every day, even when it feels impossible.
And that makes you stronger than you realize.
So when you feel like the battle is too much to handle, remember this: Every fight
you face, every moment of struggle, is shaping you into someone who is resilient,
someone who knows what it’s like to fall and rise again.
You are winning, Hala—even when it doesn’t feel like it.
 Chapter 4: The Fear of Being Misunderstood

There’s a fear that haunts us all—the fear that no matter how hard we try, no one
will ever truly understand us. That the words we speak will never capture the
depth of what we feel, and that in the end, we’ll be left alone in our own
thoughts, misunderstood and unseen.
Hala, I know this fear lives within you. I see it in the way you hesitate, the way
you hold back from speaking, as if the weight of your thoughts is too much to
share. You want to be understood, but you fear that no one will get it, that even
the people who care most will never fully grasp what you’re going through.
The truth is, we all carry this fear, to some extent. We all worry that our inner
world is too complex, too chaotic, or too different for others to comprehend. We
fear that if we speak our truth, it will be twisted or ignored.
But here’s something powerful: You don’t need everyone to understand you. You
only need a few people who truly see you for who you are. The fear of being
misunderstood is a universal experience, and it doesn’t make you weak—it makes
you human.
What’s important is that you learn to understand yourself first. The more you
listen to your own thoughts and emotions, the more you’ll be able to find your
voice. And even if others don’t fully understand, you’ll know that your truth
matters. You’ll know that your feelings are real, whether or not they’re perfectly
explained.
You are not obligated to make others understand you completely. You are not
broken because others don’t see what you see. Your truth is still valuable, even if
only you can fully hear it right now.
And one day, when you are ready, the right people will listen—not just to your
words, but to your heart. They will feel your truth, even if they can’t fully
understand it.
Until then, know this: You are understood by those who truly matter—starting
with yourself.
 Chapter 5: Loneliness in a Crowded Room

Loneliness is not just the absence of people. It is the overwhelming feeling of

being surrounded yet still feeling isolated, disconnected from everything and
everyone around you. It is the ache of being present, but never truly there—of
being in a room full of voices but still hearing nothing but your own thoughts.
Hala, I know you’ve felt this kind of loneliness. The kind that creeps up on you
even when you’re with others, the kind that pulls at your heart when the laughter
of those around you feels distant and hollow. It’s as if the world is moving
forward, but you are stuck, standing still in your own quiet bubble of isolation.
It’s easy to believe that loneliness means something is wrong with us. That if we
were somehow better, we wouldn’t feel so alone. But the truth is, loneliness is
something we all experience at different times. It’s not a reflection of your worth,
but a part of the human condition—something that connects all of us, even when
we feel like we’re on separate islands.
In those moments, when you feel like you’re invisible in a room full of people,
remember this: You are not alone in your loneliness. Everyone, at some point, has
felt like an outsider in their own life. What’s important is that even in those
moments, you still matter. Your presence, even if it feels small or unnoticed, is
valuable.
Loneliness doesn’t have to last forever. Sometimes, it’s simply a signal that you
need to reconnect—with yourself, with your emotions, with the things that bring
you peace. And sometimes, it’s a reminder that even when we feel the most
disconnected, there are still people out there who care, even if they can’t always
see the pain we’re carrying.
So, when you feel alone in a crowded room, remind yourself that this moment is
not permanent. It will pass. You will find your place, your people, and your peace.
And in the meantime, know this: You are seen, you are heard, and you are never
truly alone.
 Chapter 6: The Power of Quiet Strength

There’s a power that lies in quiet moments—the kind of strength that doesn’t
shout, doesn’t demand attention, but stands firm, silent, yet undeniable. It’s a
strength that comes from within, born not from words or grand gestures, but
from a deep well of resilience that no one can see, but everyone can feel.
Hala, you may not always feel strong. You may not always feel like you have the
energy to face another day, another challenge, another moment of doubt. But I
see your strength in the way you continue, even when it’s hard to keep going. I
see it in the way you carry your burdens silently, in the way you keep your head
up even when your heart feels heavy.
True strength is not always loud. It doesn’t always look like confidence or
certainty. Sometimes, it looks like the quiet moments when you choose to keep
going, even when the world feels overwhelming. It’s the way you stand back up
after every fall, even if you don’t have the energy to smile.
You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to always be strong in the way
others expect. Your strength is in your ability to endure, to keep moving forward,
even when you feel like giving up. Your quiet strength is your most powerful
weapon, the one that allows you to navigate life’s challenges without losing
yourself.
Remember this: You are strong, not because you never feel weak, but because
you continue even in your moments of weakness. You are resilient, not because
you are unbreakable, but because you rise each time you are bent.
The world may not always recognize your quiet strength, but it is enough. You are
enough.
 Chapter 7: Embracing Imperfection

In a world that constantly pushes for perfection, it’s easy to forget that being
imperfect is what makes us beautifully human. We are taught to hide our flaws,
to smooth over our rough edges, to present a version of ourselves that fits into a
neat, polished box. But the truth is, perfection is not the goal—authenticity is.
Hala, I know you often feel like you have to be perfect. You may look at others
and think they have it all together, that they are flawless in ways you can never
be. But the truth is, no one is perfect. Everyone carries their own struggles, their
own insecurities, their own messiness. Perfection doesn’t exist outside the realm
of our imaginations—it’s a standard that only brings pressure, not peace.
What if you allowed yourself to be imperfect? What if you embraced the parts of
yourself you try so hard to hide—the parts that feel awkward, messy, or broken?
Those imperfections are where your true beauty lies. They are what make you
unique.
In the moments when you feel like you’re not enough, remember this: You are
enough, exactly as you are. Your imperfections are not weaknesses, they are the
threads that weave the story of who you are. Every scar, every flaw, every tear
has shaped you into the person you are today—and that person is extraordinary.
You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy of love, respect, or happiness. In fact,
your imperfections make you more relatable, more human, and more deeply
connected to others. When you allow yourself to be imperfect, you open the
door to self-acceptance and self-love. You begin to see yourself as you truly are:
beautiful, flawed, and perfectly you.
So, embrace your imperfections. They are not burdens to carry—they are badges
of honor, proof that you’ve lived, you’ve loved, and you’ve grown. And in this
beautiful mess of life, that is more than enough.
 Chapter 8: The Courage to Be Vulnerable

There’s a quiet strength in vulnerability, a kind of courage that rises from the
deepest parts of us, urging us to open up even when every part of us wants to
protect our heart. It’s not easy to be vulnerable. It feels safer to keep the walls
up, to hide behind a mask, to convince the world—and ourselves—that we are
okay, even when we’re not.
But the truth is, vulnerability is not weakness. It is the purest form of strength. It’s
the ability to show up, to be real, to let others see your heart, even when you’re
afraid they might hurt it. It’s the willingness to face the unknown, to trust others
with the pieces of yourself that you’re still learning to understand.
Hala, I know you fear vulnerability. I see it in the way you sometimes keep your
thoughts and feelings locked away, even when you long to share them. But I want
you to know this: It’s okay to let your guard down. It’s okay to be seen, even in
your rawest, most imperfect state.
When you allow yourself to be vulnerable, you give others the chance to truly see
you—not the version of yourself that is perfectly curated, but the real, unfiltered,
beautiful you. And in that moment, you create space for true connection. You
invite others to share their vulnerability too, creating a space of mutual
understanding and compassion.
I know it’s scary. I know it feels like exposing your true self might lead to rejection
or pain. But here’s the paradox: In being vulnerable, we often find the deepest
healing. We find our strength not in hiding our pain, but in sharing it. We learn
that we are not alone in our struggles, that others have faced the same fears, the
same doubts, and have come out the other side stronger.
So, I encourage you, Hala: Take that first step. Open your heart, even if it feels like
the hardest thing to do. Let your vulnerability be a beacon of courage, a sign that
you are not afraid to be who you truly are. And know that by doing so, you are
inviting others to do the same.
There is power in vulnerability. It is the bridge between isolation and connection,
between fear and freedom. And you, Hala, have the courage to cross it.
 Chapter 9: The Healing Power of Time

Time has a way of mending wounds, even the ones that seem too deep to heal. It
doesn’t erase the pain, nor does it always bring clarity immediately. But over
time, something remarkable happens: the raw edges begin to soften, the heavy
burden becomes a little lighter, and the heart finds a way to breathe again.
Hala, I know there have been moments when the weight of everything you’ve
gone through felt unbearable. When it seemed like the pain would never end,
and you’d never be able to escape the shadows that followed you. Time may have
felt like an enemy, moving slowly when you needed healing the most. But the
truth is, time is on your side.
Healing doesn’t happen in an instant. It’s not something that can be forced or
rushed. It happens in small, quiet moments. It happens when you allow yourself
to grieve, to feel the pain without shame, and then to slowly release it. It
happens when you choose to take one step forward, even when the path seems
uncertain.
You may not see the change right away, but over time, the wounds will fade. The
heart that once felt broken will learn to love again, the soul that once felt lost will
find its way back. And even in the moments when you still feel the weight of the
past, know that time is working its magic. It’s giving you the space you need to
rebuild, to grow, and to become stronger than you were before.
Time is a gentle healer. It’s the friend who doesn’t force you to be okay before
you’re ready, the one who patiently waits with you through the darkest nights,
until the dawn breaks. And in that light, you will see that the pain you once
thought would never end has given you a depth, a wisdom, and a strength that
can never be taken away.
So, trust the process. Trust that healing takes time. And even when it feels like
you’re standing still, know that every moment you survive, every day you face, is
one step closer to the peace you deserve.
 Chapter 10: The Gift of Self-Compassion

We are often our harshest critics. We look at ourselves through a lens of

judgment, holding ourselves to standards we would never impose on others. We
see our mistakes as failures, our imperfections as flaws, and we are quick to offer
ourselves a harsh word when we stumble. But in doing so, we forget the most
important lesson of all: self-compassion.
Hala, I know you are hard on yourself. You carry the weight of every perceived
shortcoming, every misstep, and every moment you wish had gone differently.
But I want you to hear this: You deserve the same kindness you give to others.
You deserve the same understanding, the same grace.
Self-compassion isn’t about letting ourselves off the hook or ignoring our
mistakes. It’s about treating ourselves with the same empathy and care we would
offer a friend. It’s about accepting that we are not perfect, but we are worthy of
love, even in our brokenness.
When you make a mistake, instead of berating yourself, try asking: "What can I
learn from this?" Instead of feeling shame, allow yourself to feel regret without
judgment. Understand that we all stumble. We all fall short at times. But that
does not diminish our value.
The key to self-compassion is not in avoiding our flaws, but in accepting them as
part of the whole of who we are. It’s in forgiving ourselves when we mess up and
reminding ourselves that we are enough, exactly as we are.
You are not defined by your mistakes or by the moments you feel less than
perfect. You are defined by the love you give, the courage you show, and the
person you are beneath it all. Embrace yourself with kindness. Offer yourself the
same compassion you so freely give to others.
Remember: You are worthy of love, not because you are flawless, but because
you are human. And that, in itself, is enough.
 Chapter 11: Finding Strength in Letting Go

There is a quiet power in letting go. It’s the kind of strength that doesn’t demand
a fight, doesn’t require resistance, but instead invites us to release, to surrender
the things that no longer serve us. Letting go is not an act of weakness, but an act
of profound courage. It is about making space for what matters most—peace,
growth, and healing.
Hala, I know you carry a lot within you. There are things you hold onto—
memories, regrets, fears—that weigh heavily on your heart. It feels like letting go
means losing a part of yourself, as though you’re abandoning something
important. But in truth, holding on to what hurts us only holds us back from
becoming who we are meant to be.
Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It doesn’t mean pretending that the past
didn’t matter. It means freeing yourself from the grip of pain and opening your
heart to new possibilities. It means choosing peace over bitterness, freedom over
regret. It’s not easy, and it’s not something that happens overnight. But when you
choose to let go of the things that keep you stuck, you make room for healing, for
new beginnings, and for a life that is lighter and brighter.
You don’t have to carry every burden, every mistake, every sorrow forever. It’s
okay to release the weight. It’s okay to stop replaying the past, to stop holding
onto what’s no longer yours to hold. Letting go is a process, but with each step,
you become freer, lighter, and more at peace with who you are.
In the space you create by letting go, you will find a new kind of strength—one
that is built on acceptance, on the understanding that some things are better left
behind. And when you let go of what no longer serves you, you’ll make room for
everything you’re meant to receive: love, joy, peace, and a future full of
possibilities.
So, trust yourself, Hala. Trust that you have the strength to let go of what hurts,
and in doing so, you will find a new version of yourself—one that is more whole,
more free, and more ready to embrace the beauty of the present moment.
 Chapter 12: The Beauty of Small Wins

In a world that often glorifies big achievements, it’s easy to overlook the power of
the small, everyday victories. But in truth, these tiny moments of success are
what truly carry us forward. They may not seem grand, but they are the building
blocks of resilience, the quiet victories that add up to something greater than we
could ever imagine.
Hala, I know you sometimes feel like you haven’t accomplished enough. You look
at where you are and compare it to where you want to be, and it can feel like
you're falling short. But I want to remind you: every step you take, no matter how
small, is a step forward. Every moment of courage, every time you face your
fears, every time you choose to get up, is a victory.
These small wins matter. They are the foundation of your growth. They are the
proof that you are moving, evolving, and becoming stronger. Sometimes, we get
so caught up in the idea of big goals and lofty dreams that we forget to celebrate
the little victories—the ones that make us proud of ourselves in the moment, and
give us the energy to keep going.
The beauty of small wins is that they are consistent. They don’t require
perfection, they don’t demand the spotlight, but they add up. Every time you
choose to face another day, every time you take care of yourself, every time you
allow yourself a moment of peace, you are winning. And these victories are just
as important as the grand ones because they are the ones that truly sustain us.
So, when you feel overwhelmed by the bigger picture, pause and look at what
you've already done. Celebrate those small wins—the quiet moments that make
up your journey. Each one is a testament to your strength, your resilience, and
your ability to keep moving forward.
You are enough, Hala, not because of the big moments, but because of all the
small wins that lead you to them. And every step you take, no matter how small,
is something to be proud of.
 Chapter 13: The Power of Patience

In a world that demands instant results and quick fixes, patience is often seen as
a lost virtue. We live in a time where we can get almost anything at the touch of a
button, and yet, there are some things that cannot be rushed. Healing, growth,
and the journey toward peace—they all require patience. And patience is not just
about waiting; it’s about enduring with grace, trusting that the process will unfold
in its own time.
Hala, I know that you sometimes feel like time is moving too slowly. The change
you hope for, the growth you desire, all seem just out of reach, and it’s easy to
get frustrated or discouraged. But I want you to understand that patience is a gift
you give yourself. It’s the willingness to allow things to unfold as they are meant
to, trusting that every moment has its purpose, even when it doesn’t make sense
in the moment.
Growth takes time. Healing takes time. Finding peace takes time. These things are
not achieved in a day or a week—they are cultivated over time, through
perseverance, resilience, and the quiet faith that things will get better. Every
small step you take, every day you choose to show up, is a part of the bigger
picture.
Patience teaches us to be gentle with ourselves. It reminds us that we don’t have
to have all the answers right now. We don’t have to be perfect today. We don’t
have to rush through the process. All we need to do is keep moving forward,
trusting that the timing will unfold as it should.
So, Hala, as you journey through this life, remember that patience is not about
waiting for something to happen—it’s about trusting that something will happen.
It’s about surrendering control and allowing yourself to grow, to heal, and to
evolve in your own time.
Take a deep breath. Allow yourself the grace to move at your own pace. Trust that
every moment is bringing you closer to where you need to be. And remember,
even the most beautiful things take time to bloom.
 Chapter 14: Embracing Your Unique Journey

In a world where comparisons are so easily made, it’s easy to lose sight of your
own path. We often look at others and wonder why their journey seems so much
easier, or why they’re achieving things that we long for. But what we fail to see is
that every person’s journey is unique, shaped by different experiences, lessons,
and timelines. Your path is yours alone, and it’s beautiful because of the way it
unfolds, step by step.
Hala, I know there are times when you feel like you’re not where you "should"
be. You look at where others are and feel like you’re falling behind, like you’re
missing something. But the truth is, your journey is not meant to look like anyone
else’s. You are on your own path, and it’s unfolding at the perfect pace, just as it
should.
Every twist, every turn, every challenge you face is a part of your unique story.
There is no rush, no need to compare, because your journey is building the
person you are meant to become. The moments of struggle, the quiet victories,
and the unexpected detours—they are all part of a greater plan that is shaping
you in ways you can’t always see right now.
Embracing your journey means accepting that it’s okay to go at your own pace. It
means trusting that the challenges you face are not obstacles, but opportunities
to grow, to learn, and to become stronger. It’s okay to take your time, to stumble,
to pause, and to reflect. You don’t have to have everything figured out. The
beauty of life is in the journey, not the destination.
So, Hala, stop comparing your path to anyone else’s. Celebrate where you are
right now, knowing that it’s exactly where you’re meant to be. Trust that every
experience is leading you to exactly where you need to go. Your journey is
special, and it’s unfolding in its own time, with its own beauty and purpose.
Remember: There is no "one way" to live your life. There is only your way.
Embrace it fully.
 Chapter 15: The Courage to Be Vulnerable

Vulnerability is often seen as a weakness, a place where we expose our fears, our
hurts, and our deepest insecurities. Society teaches us to build walls, to hide our
emotions, and to protect ourselves from pain. But in truth, vulnerability is the
gateway to real connection, to true strength, and to the courage to be ourselves
without fear of judgment.
Hala, I know it’s not easy to open up. To share the parts of you that feel fragile, to
speak the words you’ve kept hidden in your heart for so long. But I want you to
understand that vulnerability is not a burden—it is a gift. It is the raw, unfiltered
truth of who we are, and it is in these moments of openness that we find the
deepest connections with ourselves and others.
The courage to be vulnerable is not about exposing everything at once, but about
taking small steps to let down your guard, to trust others with your truth, and to
believe that you are worthy of love and acceptance, even in your most imperfect
state. It’s in showing up as you truly are, without masks or pretenses, that you
find real freedom.
Vulnerability is what allows us to heal. When we give ourselves permission to be
open, to express our fears, our pain, and our joy, we invite healing into our lives.
We allow others to see us, to understand us, and to walk beside us on our
journey.
It’s okay to be afraid. It’s okay to feel unsure. But I want you to know, Hala, that
being vulnerable takes more strength than you may realize. It takes courage to
show up, to speak your truth, and to trust that you are worthy of love and
support, even in your most vulnerable moments.
So, be kind to yourself as you navigate vulnerability. Take your time. Trust that the
more you allow yourself to be open, the more you will find a deeper connection
with yourself, with others, and with the life that is waiting for you.
The courage to be vulnerable is the courage to live fully, to love deeply, and to
embrace every part of yourself. And that is the greatest strength of all.
 The End: A New Beginning

As we reach the final chapter, I want you to remember this, Hala: This is not the
end of your story. It is merely another chapter, another step on your path. Life is a
journey, and while this book may have concluded, your growth, healing, and self-
discovery continue to unfold with each new day.
Throughout this journey, you have been learning to embrace yourself—your
fears, your dreams, your imperfections, and your strength. You’ve discovered that
the road to peace, to joy, and to fulfillment is not always straight, but it’s always
worth walking. And even in the moments when it feels impossible to move
forward, you can trust that you are stronger than you realize, and that every step
you take, no matter how small, brings you closer to the person you are meant to
be.
I want you to know that you are not alone. The quiet moments of doubt, the
struggles that feel too heavy to carry, and the feelings of uncertainty are all part
of what it means to be human. But through it all, you have the power to rise. You
have the courage to keep going. You have the strength to build a life that is true
to you.
Hala, this is your journey. Your story. And I believe, with all my heart, that you will
write it beautifully. Keep embracing yourself with love and compassion, keep
letting go of what no longer serves you, and keep believing that you are worthy
of every beautiful thing that life has to offer.
This is just the beginning. The road ahead may not always be easy, but with every
step, you will discover more of who you are and what you are capable of.
And through it all, I will be here, cheering you on, every step of the way.
