Noor Mahtab Rahmani

What you are going to read is certainly not a novel. Neither is it a collection of short stories nor one of poems. But it is something. Yes, let's just call it "something" if we seriously have to go for labels. A few years ago I met someone who was the reflection of who I used to be. That person was the clearest mirror I've ever met. I started noticing these traits of mine, that were everything but effective. I was living with a huge facade covering my mind and my body. Pretending to be someone who was a stranger to me, being unattainable because I thought that was sexy. Vulnerability was something I had never heard of. I had no idea how to write the word "vulnerable" let alone how to pronounce it. I understood pretty fast that becoming vulnerable is a long and constant process. You cannot decide it today and become it tomorrow. It's a muscle that has to be trained every single day. I am certainly not done yet but I would claim that I finally got to that point that allows me to be. truly. vulnerable. This is why I decided to take it to the next level. To write down lines filled with honest words, creating real scenes I had a role in. These little somethings you are going to read had either some kind or an incredible impact on me that made me come to realizations helping me to understand, process and grow. It was not easy but I refused to let my ego win who popped up every once in a while and did it anyways.
