| A Coward !! |
Once Upon A Time, i had a writing career being a member of the editorial staff of one of the most popular English magazines in Cairo.
At that time, my writings were abundant and creativity was on fire but i never thought i was a good writer back then .. more of a coward.
I'm more into playing God and building up characters. Writing stories is what i do best and love most, but I never had the guts to write about lust, sexual issues or even a kiss as i was afraid of the readers' reaction.
My first published particle was censored by my supervisors because of a kiss i put between the main two characters. It was a romantic thing for Valentine's issue and the kiss had to come, but i resigned for the sake of being a published writer.
All that time i was trying to convince myself and the others that i don't care about people's opinion in what i write while the truth is that i care about nothing but their opinions and thoughts and i put in consideration their belief and traditions which affected my writings and cornered my creativity.
Now i feel more of a grown up who can discuss taboos in a more open freely way. I REALLY don't care about people's opinion. I can't make the whole world satisfied.

It's silly how we lie to ourselves, but we do.
I think i too got better facing my feelings, faults and desires. Looks like being a coward is just a station before bravery or should i say openness.
Thanks !! .. I'm glad you like it. There's more yet to come.
