Not being able to flourish, and grow in ones own country is a feeling I wish upon no one, especially if it is not by choice, but by force. I am and always will be a proud Lebanese, who grew up miles and miles away from her beloved homeland.

Why? That is a question I have been pondering ever since I can remember, and the answer I come up with each and every time is the same, ignorance.

Ignorance from the civilians to know any better, ignorance from the politicians to be able to make things work, ignorance from the world to be able to solve such a simple, yet never ending problem. I will not bore you with our diverse political parties and their never ending useless points of view, I will just encourage you to try as hard as you can not to fall in the bottomless hole we have so willingly fallen into, I will just encourage you to never give up on your country, to never give up on your rights to live freely in the place you were meant to be. I will just encourage you to fight for what is yours, now and for always.

Respectfully,

Sara Nader
LEBANESE & PROUD
