Here Goes Nothing 

Written By: Anwar

I needed an outlet. Over a cup of coffee, well a salted-caramel mocha to be exact (with a pretty foam swirl forming the shape of a heart), a chat with a couple friends, advice from the experienced, and support from my best friend and co-author of this blog, Esraa, I decided that this was best. I was able to come to a conclusion that this would be the starting platform of what my small world needs to know. It just makes sense. That’s why these blogs exist. Afterall, it’s better than keeping it bottled in, verbally venting to others, or just plain overthinking. There are so many experiences to share, for within the last 7 years of my life, I feel like I’ve lived multiple lives just based off of different experiences and interactions. Ha! Weird to say, and you’re probably thinking, “where the heck is this going?” You’ll see, and hopefully you’ll grasp the idea. Here is my goal of trying to piece it all together! Between working in a hospital, attending college, being a full-time, avid Cleveland sports fan, being involved with the local mosque, balancing healthy relationships between my family and friends, putting my faith before my worldly life, rekindling my love to my culture (both American and Palestinian), to eventually becoming a teacher and a coach, where do I even begin?! Well, rather how do I even begin to tell you about my experiences, the people I’ve met along the way, and how it has effected and shaped me to the person I am today among this outlasting society in which we live. A blog –A blog as a platform for you to understand, if you want. Otherwise, I’m venting by writing out my thoughts, experiences, and life. You can choose to stay and listen, read between the lines, or smile and walk away. I’ll never know! 🙂
Best Regards,
