Hi,
Haven't written much lately... I was suffering from some new and improved version of 'writer's block', in which the symptoms happened to be that while I searched for words to read ( as in, books), but avoided to write any(not even one decent paragraph!)!
Adding to this state of mental procrastination was the tragic earthquake that hit and very literally shook the foundations of my beloved Pakistan. The news updates on the victims and the survivors were shocking. I was moved, pained, and at the same time guided towards the deeper meaning of it all in my mind.
It could have been me, I thought. It could have been my loved ones! The very thought of any harm coming to my two little bundles of joy can transform me into a madwoman... and yet women survived the quake only to find they had lost their sons and husbands, and siblings. A sad reality. Makes you realize all at once, that life really is not in our control; that there is a higher power controlling our fates, our futures.
While many say that the earthquake is a punishment from our Creator; I believe that it is infact a test, with a warning hidden in it. The test: face whatever comes your way; fight it to the best of your abilities laced with an iron-clad faith. The warning: you are a mere mortal, don't play God!
I pray for those who died, and those who lost their people in the devastating quake that hit some parts of Asia. May their souls rest in peace. Amen!
Don't take life for granted. Ever.
Take care, my dears....

- One dark and boring night in 2005, sitting alone thinking about life and how weird it is, Sarah Dawood/ Drama wrote her first blogpost as Jane Bravo. What started out as a private ranting space, slowly and gradually evolved into the current blog, which talks about many events, things, and feelings. Just like all of Sarah's other social media platforms, also about many events, things, and feelings --- Instagram: thesarahdawood | snapchat: thesarahdawood | twitter: @SarahDawood | facebook: /groups/TheCoddiwomple
