The Dream I Hid for 10 Years. AI-Generated.
For a decade, I lived two lives. To my family, I was the obedient son — quiet, responsible, always saying "In shaa Allah" to their plans. I studied what they asked, attended the family shop when needed, and never questioned their decisions.

Serving Confessions
Let me guess - you need money! No, this isn't an ad for quick credit, but rather an introduction to one of those jobs people should work at some point. What profession? Waitressing, of course! Almost everyone I know between the ages of 17 and 25 has been a waiter, but like I said, almost everyone. Sometimes it's inevitable - you either work as a cashier in a supermarket or you work as a waiter. Let's not forget bartending too.

Don’t Forget to Check on the Strong Ones
They say I’m the strong one. The dependable one. The one you call when you need to cry, need a ride, need advice, need anything. I’ve worn that label like armor for as long as I can remember. “You’re so resilient,” they tell me. “You always seem to have it all together.” And I smile. Nod. Offer reassurance.

Long Distance Love Letter for Her
My Dearest Love, It’s past midnight here. The world outside is still, but inside me, it’s anything but quiet. I lie here thinking about you, about us, and the space between our worlds. It’s funny how someone so far away can still feel closer than the people around me.

Pauline Kael
She would have hated my first short film,” Sami said, staring at the dust-covered DVD. It was late — 2:42 a.m. The air was heavy with chai and memories. The living room lights were dimmed, except for the glow of his laptop screen, where he had opened an old folder named “KHUWAAB.”
