“Lessons we learn in life: The 1st hurts The 2nd teaches us The 3rd makes us stronger The 4th makes us wiser The 5th makes us laugh!”
#MOI Oops I forgot to mention that I am talking about the same lesson, and I believe after the 5th time, the same lesson makes us the perfect target for others, anyways, to say no more, no more pain, because I said no more!
“Those who touch our heart…
Today was very special, I don’t if I ever told you, I used to work in a school, those among you who read my book would know, I was the director of the middle school, and generation after generation, I watched those kids grow physically, emotionally, mentally, I watched them overcome personal issues, those they bring from home and explode them on other kids, and other issues they develop due to facing others’.
Bullying was at the heart of the middle school, name it, it was there, physical, sarcasm, belittling others, isolation, on social media, in messages, among friends, you are my friend or will have no friends, and the list is still at the beginning.
I always felt that in the circle of the bullying crime, you have to cure the bully before the bystander and before the victim, since in my opinion, I viewed pain crawling out of him/her to feed their anger and dilemma; the bystanders represent a higher number among the crowd, they need time to build enough character to stand for themselves and others; and last the victims, although bullying hurts, but when surrounded by the right people, they will eventually heal their wounds, once they understand that bullies act out of weakness and pain rather than themselves being weak and wrong!
I used to call bullying the vicious circle… it is a long story.
Anyways, among the many I witness grow, there was this one child, who really had it bad! I and many around me worked very hard to help, unfortunately, he had to leave the school, and go struggle abroad, between his split parents. His departure broke my heart, I knew, at times we can only help a little, but as well I knew, that at least we were his serene community!
Days went by, and his news was only fading away, but he was always on my mind, and I always wondered whether he was able to find himself in the harsh world that he was born in.
I learned at least one lesson per day during school days, except this child taught me many!
Today, as I was in a coffee shop, trying to rest, this gentleman approached me, and said, Miss Badiaa, I am, I didn’t let him finish, I recognized him on the spot, I hugged him, and tears shed… he did succeed after a long struggle, he made it, and I thanked God for crossing his path with mine to put my mind at ease!
Dear parents, readers, and educators,
parents, try to keep your conflicts away from your children,
readers, this school was and still is among the best in the world, no we were not exclusive with bullying issues if you don’t know, every child goes through that cycle,
and educators, always remember that your role is far beyond the book!”
To this child, id you ever get across this article, as I told you this afternoon, I am so proud of you!”

“Forgive… I don’t know, what does it mean!
I always think of this word, it aggravates me while I say it, spell it, and silently think of it.
I know all the versions of Forgiveness, it is not up to me to punish, we forgive for personal peace, people change, it is a perception, they did not mean it this way, they did not know how we felt, they were young, they don’t know any better, a new beginning for self, give yourself a chance to move on… I can give you all the reasons behind it, but can you tell me why I still wonder at time WHY DOES IT STILL HURT?
It is not about letting go and moving on, I know I did, I did climb to a higher level, I feel the success, I live the happiness of this stage… but simply, at times, I ask one question, WHY DOES IT STILL HURT?
As for apologizing… Oh that is a different word, the answer is expected to be, “I forgive you for breaking my heart, because the part you broke, will last for life!”
#MOI & the answer is, I FORGIVE BECAUSE I CHOSE TO, NOT BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT! I FORGIVE FOR ME TO LIVE IN PEACE, NOT FOR YOU TO FORGIVE YOURSELF FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!

“Pain and Forgiveness!
Well… a moment of truth and inner-thoughts!
When someone hurt us, we say forgive and forget… all the F crap!
Do we have the right to forgive and forget when the action of that person effected those we love?
Will we be giving the best example to those we love by Forgiving and Forgetting?
& last, will we be telling those we love, I care about those that hurt me more than I care about the tears you shed, and the pain you felt?!” #MOI about last night…. I know the goal is to let go, but there is always a lesson!

“Where is true love? asked the wounded heart…
Give it a chance, trust people! answered the mind…
But last time I did it hurt! said the wounded heart…
Situations change, and people do! replied the mind…”
