Nice of you to say.
Trauma, i...@ AIDY: Thank you. Nice of you to say. <br /><br />Trauma, in general, slows down progress, and we already know how slow a process progress itself usually is. When trauma hits you in a series, no matter how much you advance, you'll always be (or feel like you are) behind.<br /><br />You live in the US. The average 27-year-old American has achieved way more than I did. And I couldn't care less for what the average 27-year-old guy in my country has achieved, because it always hovers around material possessions and bribed entitlement. <br /><br />My initial reason for writing this post was to pour my heart out and free it of decades of pain. If it inspires, I'll know it was as beneficial to others as it has been to me. This blog is not just another space filled with words; it is my coming-of-age moment that I delight in sharing with perceptive readers like yourself.<br /><br />Thank You :)Wilmaryadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521844359441132973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106215863106004643.post-85864515270674693282010-06-12T00:59:07.354+01:002010-06-12T00:59:07.354+01:00Wil,

I applaud you, for coming out and telling your story to everyone that has the privilege to read. I have to wonder, if any of this has inhibit you in any way in finding that you have grown or rose above all you have been through? Seeing that you have the power to inspire everyone here in some way to improve and reflect upon certain personal issues in their lives. <br /><br />Again, thank you for sharing. There is power in your words. I have become inspired reading from you.

If we compare ourselves to others in less enviable places, we can get borderline arrogant. The best is to compare one's achievements to one's possibilities and see how these correlate.

Like one of your earlier commenters, I as an American feel the guilt of one who can't sympathize. But I also know we all carry our different burdens and the fact that they're heavier somewhere across the ocean doesn't make us feel our own any less.<br /><br />That said, I've done, in my small way, some of what you're doing now-- writing in order to dig out from under the rubble of the past. It's a long and deep process, but it doesn't seem you have any trouble being honest with yourself about what's happened to you, and your sense of humor about it all is pretty amazing and speaks volumes about your perspective on your own experience. I hope that soon your words get you through to seeing it is not, in fact, too late. (Where I live you'd be considered incredibly cultured for being trilingual alone; and liking Amelie?! Oh! The friends you'd have.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106215863106004643.post-38596171469044428572010-05-01T23:58:18.723+01:002010-05-01T23:58:18.723+01:00@ Chagrin D'amour: Wouah, tout un programme, e...@ Chagrin D'amour: Wouah, tout un programme, en effet! :pWilmaryadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521844359441132973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106215863106004643.post-73377782758682030622010-05-01T23:37:31.046+01:002010-05-01T23:37:31.046+01:00I think it's the dilemma of every Arab gay guy...I think it's the dilemma of every Arab gay guy so I'm not in the palce for giving advice for any1.What's next? u'r asking an intriguing quesion mister,kidding....nothing watching vintage gay porn,comedy sitcoms,music,daydreaming,loathing myself, see? a lot to doChagrinD'amournoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3106215863106004643.post-91027839332071862852010-05-01T22:38:11.050+01:002010-05-01T22:38:11.050+01:00@ Chagrin D'amour: I see.
