أَحْلَى سِنّ
بِنْتِي دِلْوَقْتِي عَنْدَها سَنَتِين، وِدَه بَحِسُّه أَجْمَل سِنّ فِي حَياة الطِّفْل. سَاعَات لَمّا بَشُوفْها وِهِيّ بِتِضْحَك ضِحْكِة الأَطْفَال اللي في سِنَّهَا، بَحْزَن شُوَيّة عَلَشَان عَارِف إِنَّها بَعْد فَتْرَة قُصَيَّرَة هَاتْبَطَّل الضِّحْكَة دِي. فَسَاعَات بَتمَنَّى إِنَّها ما تِكبَرش، فَبِهْزَار بَقُولّها: "كِدَه كِفَايَة.. بَطَّلي تِكبَري. إنْتِي حِلْوَة زَيّ مَا إنْتي."
مِن كَام يُوم وَأنا قَاعِد فِي قَهْوَة، لَاحِظْت قُرَيِّب مِنّي سِتّ و بِنْتَهَا. بِنْتَهَا كانِت مُعاقَة ذِهْنِيًّا وِ تَقْرِيبًا عَنْدَهَا ١٥ سَنَة. أُمَّهَا عَمَّالَة تِبْتِسِمْلَها وِ تدَلَّع فِيهَا: "يَا عَسُّولْتِي يَا قَمَرَايَة.." وِ كَلَام مِن ده. نَفْس الكَلَام دَه أَنَا بَقُولُه لِبِنْتِي. وِزَيّ بِنْتِي، البِنْت المُعَاقَة ضِحْكِت وِ ابْتَسَمِت وِ انْبَسَطِت.
وَقْتَها شُفْت أُمْنِيِّتِي حَقِيقَة قُدّامِي.

النمو الشخصي
النهارده رحت الشغل عشان أختار جدول مواعيدي. في الشغل عندي، كل أربع شهور الموظفين بيختاروا جدولهم وبيقدموا طلبات الإجازة. فأنا رحت عشان أختار جدول مواعيدي وقدمت طلبات الإجازة بتاعتي للأربع شهور الجايين.
اليوم كان مليان جدًا. صحيت بدري عشان درس العربي، وبعد كده رجعت نمت شوية، ولما صحيت عملت شوية تمرين، وبعدين رحت اجتماع الشغل.
من أول ما اشتغلت في المطعم ده، ماكنتش عايز أكون علاقات أو صداقات، عشان خلاص بقى عندي ٤٠ سنة، واتعلمت إني ما اهتمش لو الناس بتحبني ولا لأ.
بعد الاجتماع، قعدت في كافيه عشان أكتب مذكراتي. أنا جيت الكافيه عشان مش عايز حاجة تشتيتني زي ما بيحصل في البيت: حاجات زي التيك توك واليوتيوب وكل أنواع التشتيت التانية.
بسبب مرحلة النمو الشخصي اللي بمر بيها، اتعلمت أحب نفسي أكتر من أي وقت تاني في حياتي. اتعلمت إن الطرق القديمة بتاعتي كانت بتخليني تعبان نفسيًا، وكان لازم أحاول أعيش حياتي بطريقة مختلفة.
مثلاً: بقيت أهتم بنفسي، وبنام أكتر من قبل كده، وده بيخليني أحس إني مرتاح. ودلوقتي ما بقيتش أحس إني لازم أساعد حد قبل ما أساعد نفسي الأول.
بعد ما حسيت بتعب نفسي عشان اهتمامي برأي الناس فيا، قررت أغير ده وأجرب حاجة جديدة مختلفة.
وعلى رأي لاو تزو (Lao Tzu):"اللي يهتم برأي الناس، يعيش طول عمره في سجن."

This story was written by Rene Molina
عالم أقل وِحدة
في الأول لما وصلت أمريكا، كنت محتاج أفهم الثقافة الأمريكية وأتعود عليها. بس الموضوع ماكانش ثقافة وبس، كان لازم كمان أتعلم لغة جديدة.
لما بدأت أتعلم إنجليزي، ابتديت ألاحظ التفاصيل الصغيرة اللي بتربط بين الثقافة واللغة. والتفاصيل دي صعب جدًا على أي حد الإنجليزي مش لغته الأم إنه يفهمها.
دي كانت أول مرة في حياتي أحس بالحماس لتعلم لغة جديدة. وكل حاجة بدأت بكلمة واحدة، وفجأة لقيت نفسي بكوّن صداقات جديدة. الكلمة دي خلتني أحس إن العالم أقل وحدة، وأكتر متعة.
والتجربة دي خلتني مبسوط أوي، ومتحمس أكتر إني أتعلم لغات تانية، وأكتشف التفاصيل الصغيرة اللي بتخلي كل لغة مميزة. وده واحد من الأسباب اللي خلتني أبدأ أتعلم عربي.
