Coffee Breaks

This current situation made me think of my precious coffee breaks.


COVID 19 or Corona as many people like to call it has changed our ways of living and all our habits that were accumulated along the past years. I can’t describe fairly and precisely the drastic change as I am writing subjectively, yet it is obvious from social media posts, news reports and even the few (allowed) daily interactions of the streets that we will not resume our so called “natural” lifestyle and habits anytime soon.

I used to “spontaneously” head to my favorite hidden coffee gem after my long day of duties and sit there either for some me time or to join my besty so we get to gossip about our day, the people we don’t like and play some Partchizi star. To be honest it seems to be from the deep past; it has been almost three months since I am quarantined with my family and Iet me tell you:

It’s not EASY!

  Thanks to Corona situation I now appreciate my Freedom that I use to take for granted. I now appreciate my old life that I used to perceive as boring and dull. Being locked inside my house allowed me some time (plenty actually) to reflect many aspects of my life, self and surroundings.

Longing to my Coffee made aware that I wasn’t living my life to the fullest and that I wasted so much time on irrelevancies that made my life harder and complicated, on toxic people that fed on my anxiety and of course on regretting and hesitating about what should i do to secure the bag and have a bright future.

Isn’t it impressive how our minds function?  In a way that such a small and obvious detail leads you to unveil a discovery about what is important to you, the discovery that will change your life as well as your choices and eventually makes you a better version of yourself. Isn’t the goal after all?

I never thought, even in my wildest states that someday I will be in a position where I only ask about going out and doing plain stuffs! If this experience has taught me anything, it is definitely the value of time and the ability to keep it moving.

What about you? What do you think has changed within you since the pandemic started?

Teacher’s diaries

Photo de  Max Fischer  provenant de  Pexels From time to time, I just want to quit my job to embark on a new journey within a new career. I feel exhausted and drained because of all this work on my shoulders. Working with students is hard, the degree of hardship may vary depending on the level of students, their age, their cultural background and their interests. When I was assigned the three levels I will be working with, I felt enthusiastic for this new opportunity: new city, new school, new faces. But I felt kind of discouraged because I had no idea what to do especially things were changing due to Covid 19 pandemic. Teaching under such circumstances was and still such a challenge to tackle, everyone was (is) trying to adapt to new changes covid 19 forced us to undergo; teaching-learning online, quarantine, remote work mode, social distancing …ect. Therefore, I am always trying to do the best as I can as a teacher for my students. I always try to create the right atmosphere for

We are Still Human

  It has been a long time since the last time i sat to write something. I feel like I have so many things to talk about, yet I don’t know where to start. So many things happened lately and my life has changed a bit. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that nobody’s existence matter but yours? Have you ever reached that point, where you are so sure that nobody is willing to do things for you, be there for you as they once said? Well I did. I guess my point out of these words, is to share with you this feeling. I want to tell you, you are not alone, I completely understand the way you feel, so don’t worry about. It will fade away as your tears did once. You know what we regret? We regret that we had called someone a friend, gave him a space in our life, invested time and energy just to show them we care. You what they did instead? They let you down in the very time you want them to be around. We regret sharing our most embarrassing secrets, our weak moments and the
