Today I read a book that made me think about my blog's name.
I thought about changing it a lot, I mean I've had this blog for a few years now and surely I've managed to spread my wings by now, right?
I'm not so sure.
Maybe I don't feel like there's any point in spreading them anymore because, well, I can't really fly. And if I could, my feelings of being caged/trapped by myself would be too strong for me to even attempt flying.
"I wonder what you will do with your wings once you have found them. I wonder how far away they will take you. And I fear them, for my sake, at the same time that I hope for them, for yours."
I wish I could feel free and fly. My ultimate goal is to be tied down to nothing. So perhaps, till I can safely say I mastered that art, the blog name remains as it is.
And I remain yours,
Noor

شعرت بالحزن وأنا أقرأك هُنا ، كيف يحق لكِ مجرّد التفكير بأنكِ لا تحلقي وأنتِ تكتبي / تكتبين لنا ! وتجعلينا نحلّق معكِ بجناحيكِ !
دائماً أشعر بقواسم مشتركة بيننا يكفي أن مدوناتنا تحمل "كلمة جناح" وما خلفها من أمنيات وأحلام وكل الهواجس التي تنتابك بشأن القيود تنتابني أيضاً .. لكن أرجوكِ لا تلتفتي إليها ! إننا نقيّد أنفسنا مجرد أن نفكّر بالقيود ونحنُ نكتب .
آسفة لأنني أكتب رداً بالعربية ، بالنسبةِ لي الحرية هي العربية :)
سلامي وشوقي الكبيرين
هالة، أخجلني إعتذارك. أتتأسفين لسبب كهذا؟ نقص مني تعبيري عن نفسي بالانجليزية و إهمالي للعربية، لكن يسعدني أن مدونتي تُمنح هذه التعليقات الجميلة منكِ.
قيودنا كثيرة معكِ حق، و لا منطق في التفكير في القيود عمدنا نكتب، فالكتابة هي مهربنا.
شكرا لكِ يا هالة.
I'm eating chicken wings. Coincidence? I don't think so :D
I love the name of your blog because that's what a writer does, spreading his/her wings :)
hahaha, everything happens for a reason :D
i agree, that's what i'm trying so hard to do.
