Every day we discover ourselves more

We have not changed, nor have the people around us changed. We thought that Eid had changed, and we do not feel the joy of Eid in this time, unlike what we were in the past when we were young. We also feel that we have changed in love. For things, in deeds and tastes, we, dear ones, have not changed. Rather, we have begun to discover ourselves more and more as we grow older, and we have begun to see big things as small in our eyes. So do not worry and do not allow depression an outlet for your hearts. This is normal and this is the way of life. Sisters get married and leave us, and younger brothers grow up, get married and leave. To their own homes, and our new family remains, then our children leave us as we grow up and return to isolation, then we die, and life continues, and what happens to them happens to us. This is the year of life, so do not be upset and do not worry yourselves. From the book Life Skills by Ibrahim Al-Shamlan
