Holding on to kindness

Early morning in Al Barsha, Dubai

This year is ending soon and I hope this craziness also ends along with it. This year, at least in the past few months, I've been experiencing a lot of emotional highs and lows. Because of these restrictions, I cannot do so much that I am trapped in a bubble with the unkindest of all things. 

I'm just glad that I have the kindest people around me, virtually, who remind me to be kind to myself and who diverts my attention so something else happy. I am forever grateful for a handful of people who are genuinely kind - I admire them so much. Living alone, far from these people, is really challenging sometimes... I really miss my family and friends.
