With This, I'm Back to Real Life

I'm trying to write, but my brain is too stuck to write anything. Today is too quiet, and I'm not used to that. My life has been going in a very fast pace. I've been to Makkah, and the next day Al Amal Camp has started.

I have had the best 10 days of my life. The way I see things now are much different. Before, whenever I looked at a special needs child I would look away, feeling bad for them. Now, I find them more normal than ourselves. Those children are even more talented than normal children at times. You really can't judge a person by looking at them. Everyone is special in his own way.

The team I've worked with was one of the best. Everyone in the team was also special in their own way. It is amazing how voluntary work can get different people from different positions and different personalities to meet and serve one purpose. This in itself was something to contemplate about.

I've been living outside of my life for the past 10 days. But I am back to real life today. I have a lot of things to catch up with and to finish. University starts on Sunday and I'm not sure if I'm excited about it or not.

My heart is secretly sighing. I am missing everything about Makkah and about the camp already. I really can't wait for next year to repeat the experience.

A special thanks to my brothers, for making my visit to Makkah and my participation in the camp possible.

I am truly blessed, for knowing all the people I know in my life.
