Life Journey

"A Journey of a Lifetime" is a true story by author Shahnaz Hassan about a group of girls during their university years, a time meant to be a place of liberation and freedom. The story explores how life shapes their destinies, leading them away from their dreams and aspirations. At the beginning of the story, the author writes: "Happy endings are only possible if we make good beginnings." This is how Amira began writing her diary. The weather was hot and summery, but the sun was setting, so a gentle breeze caressed her face. She continued writing, saying, "I am Amira, and I am now forty years old. I don‘t know how the years have passed so quickly, but the time spent with family and friends is never lost or forgotten; it is stored in the memory of a lifetime, leaving a deep and lasting impression." She continued, "My siblings and I lived under the loving care of our parents. We were a happy family, overflowing with love and affection. I was the middle child; my brother Rami was four years older than me, and my sister Sham was four years younger. We were a middle-class family, but the love our parents showered upon us made us feel truly rich. I also had two friends who were the most precious gift life gave me. But as we grew older, life‘s storms swept over us and stole our happiness."
