Zeyad, this piece is like an open road itself—raw, full of twists, and unexpectedly grounding.
The line 'You can be fast, or you can be distracted, but you cannot be both' hit me hard—once, I spilled coffee on my laptop while rushing to meet a deadline, and while not life-threatening, it felt like my version of a controlled crash.
Your reframing of loss as a trip to Europe is genius—humorous, but also profoundly practical.
Do you think these reframes get easier the more we practice them, or does each new setback demand fresh creativity?
Also, the quiet wisdom in pottering around with breakfast or sunlight. Its the kind of soft strength that often gets overlooked but is so powerful
Here's to more good takeaways even when life gets messy
"Do you think these reframes get easier the more we practice them?" – I guess for me it's becoming more and more evident that different events from my life provide enough non-linearity that serves my story arc
This arc then becomes my unique lens, which I use to interpret more events and experiences – i.e framing becomes easier
I think it also helps the creative process, in ways that are indeed 'non-linear', which is magical
