…2011…

This time last year, like every year, I started to think of my end of year blog post. I found 2010 one of the most complicated , hardest and weirdest years I ever lived. It was almost impossible to sum up the year.

I thought nothing could top 2010 when it came to the roller coaster my feelings went through. I believed 2011 would be different, happier and less complex… little did I know.

Few minutes into 2011 and the mourning started. It showed it’s true colors as soon as it started, we just didn’t pay much attention.

2011 has truly been a wild ride, one of the longest and busiest years. I went through every single emotion possible and witnessed moments I shall never forget.

I can’t get over how I felt on 11th Feb and I don’t want to ever forget. The feeling I had that day that we finally toppled a tyrant is what keeps me believing that we shall do the same with the rest of his allies. We will take down the regime. We must.

But most importantly, and despite the countless martyrs we lost, 2011 shall be the year one of my dreams came true; Egyptians realized their power, they realized how much they love their country, they reclaimed their dignity and they refuse to ever lose it again, they realized they were played and vowed they shall never be once more, they learned that freedom is not easy and that they mustn’t give up. Egyptians have claimed their position, and even if it takes years, what some did in Jan25 2011, younger generations have witnessed and shall carry it on. It’s what we teach our children that makes up their adulthood and future.

The kingdom of injustice may live for a while but it shall never survive.

2012 … I expect nothing from you, surprise me, after all you can’t possibly top 2011, … can you!?
