Thank you for your lovely birthday wishes! The past year has been one of the toughest and most pivotal in my life. I've endured the biggest heartbreak of my life to date, the end of my marriage, a 19 year relationship. I had to learn to live again with many losses: not only the love of my life, but also my dog, and more recently one of my two cats. I moved back home after 20 years abroad. I had to get used to so many things again, starting from scratch in many ways: back to living in Lebanon, at my parents again for now, building a new business with family.. And then the revolution, and economic collapse. Because living through a 15 year civil war apparently isn't enough excitement for a lifetime. But I am fine. A dad hung himself here yesterday because he couldn't feed his children or care for his sick wife. A woman was offering to sell her kidney to care for her mother and children. I'm ok.. As the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times." https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lulQihdt7AK2jHVxum4vNz-Qnlf_7waMjo5c0/?igshid=pbsidjk5nzaf

We have a saying, "They kill the guy and walk in his funeral." Our politicians still shamelessly do that.. #لبنان_ينتفض #كلن_يعني_كلن #شهيد_الوطن #علاء_ابو_فخر (at Choueifat, Lebanon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B42K6Yyh5NaoGXMenPJ5ruPWwcRCNkizXUZvuE0/?igshid=5n6sr0xc0fq8

It's been such a surreal morning: I just put down my cat, Pumpkin, and driving back all the roads are burning.. I couldn't get home to bury him; so I'm taking shelter at my aunt's, with his body in the bag..
