Still Facebooking/tweeting/blogging, but now I'm actually starting to fully embrace the fact that I'm up for confrontations and deeply opinionated. I can, and God willing, I WILL be part of something as beautiful and rare as this where walls of stereotypes and false judgement are broken down, and I will, inshaAllah, be part of the beautifully diverse group of people that gets that done.
This feeling of hope is amazing and contagious. I haven't stepped foot in Tahrir and yet I can feel the spirit. Wishful thinking? I don't think so. More like a long-awaited dream. May not be tailoring my imagination, but still exceedingly remarkable in ways I never thought of.
And a completely unrelated postscript to all those who are sarcastically saying that all Egyptians are suddenly journalists, politicians and patriots; thanks for thinking so highly of us! We considered ourselves amateurs, really, but whatever you guys say goes. Thanks again!
