Nostalgia

After 3 months in Paris, I miss Dubai. I miss my friends who love and appreciate me more than myself, and in the process, taught me to treat myself like a princess and a queen. I miss the easy, care-free life. I miss the warm weather, the jogs around the lake, the walks by the beach, the hot air balloon rides, the dunes bashing.
 
I miss interacting with like-minded people whom I can just rattle away with without having to explain myself, twice or thrice in various languages, words and phrases. I miss having normal conversations without any repetitions.
 
There are other things I miss too!

 
 
I miss this glorious view from my apartment.
 
I miss seeing the flaming red flowers right in the middle of summer

I miss having candle-light dinners with fishes swiming right in front of me

And I miss celebrating my birthday with macaroons, chocolate cake
with friends who know me, in and out!

 Oh Lord, bless us all!
Even though we're scattered far and wide.
Help us to spread your light and your joy,
your hope, your love and your life.
