The list of people who matter in the world is gradually decentralizing as increased voices from the public are making themselves heard. Ironically the increase of voices has to some extent stopped people from listening.
No longer is there an engaged masses. The only advantage to these contemporary changes is that today class, race, ethnicity, and creed-to a large extent-have become irrelevant; not to say that it has been eradicated from our lives, but it too has become decentralized and dramatically relativized.
To an extent an Arab admitting such a thing is treasonous, especially since the world outlook on Arabs has greatly changed towards the negative. However, these general phases and movements are currents that are being gradually challenged by the every day differences, the every day dynamics, the every day currents that matter more in today's climate than they did in the past. They are bubbling with new insights and new outlooks towards the general, forcing it to succumb to instability instead of the overarching boundedness it hones.
It is on this note that I introduce myself as Dania. A student of life and a scholar/poet at heart, I find that this new world order that we are exposed to may give me the chance to matter as I hope it does you the reader. That said, like all and any writing and/or any endeavor to make yourself heard and make it mean something:
I knows no limits to the my power, even though they exist. I know no limits to my voice, even though it breaks. And I know no limits to the possibilities of positivity that can emerge from today's public, regardless of the outnumbered negative outlooks present. So please engage with me!

Hahahaha Dania!! You know, I was checking out this blog haphazardly, thinking I should bookmark it for the next time I visit Beirut. I was ACTUALLY considering getting you in on some of the activities your blog inspired -- hahaha, I'm impressed!
