Who? What? Why? How? Where?

Answers

OK… My name is Mariya and for now let’s say my last name is Suriya!

I’m a 33 year-old interior designer [my job now is Syria] who’s living a stable and enjoyable life… thank God.

I’m currently in Syria, and more specifically in Latakia.

I have decided to blog about Syria and subsequently about the Arab Spring.

Interpretations

That was all fine, but let me tell you the real stuff about me and why I’m doing this:

I’m human first and foremost… and a Syrian in between and amongst other things!

I have a mind, a heart, and a consciousness and I believe that I hold my destiny with my own hands.

I motioned the fact that I’m living a stable and balanced life in order to stress that I have no selfish motives in supporting the uprising in my county… In fact chances are things might go bad for me personally in terms of making a living, but it will be great for all Syrian eventually… So I hope! Moreover, when all this is over I won’t be participating in politics in any way because I hate it, and I’ll just go back to my quiet life.

Since I’m now in Syria I’ll be giving you the inside story… My story, or the way I see things, putting in mind how proud I am of my people rising up the way they are. I’ll be using my mind and heart and the filter of consciousness to remain as subjective as one can be. You may, however, feel the need to check other stories and make up your own judgment.

Reasons

Why blog for Syria? The answer to that is rather simple:

·         I love my country, and every country… I love people, all people… need I go on!

·         I’m addicted to freedom… I did achieve it to a large degree in my personal life, and now I wish it for everyone, and will support it everywhere.

·         Human rights, which became more like human dreams in our countries.

·         My life is never the same ever since fellow citizens like Tal, Hamza, and thousands others are either dead, detained, and/or tortured.

·         I can… you can… and more importantly, we all can if we unite!

·         The universe consists of atoms…! And every atom counts. I’m an atom who won’t just stand and watch, but will vibrate in a certain way that would serve that universe and the other atoms.

So, that was a bit about me and my blog… the rest will come later!

Thank you for reading this, and welcome into Mariya’s world! My blog is an attempt for me to speak out hoping it'll be an oasis for you where you can relax and still be in the uprising mood...!
