قاعِد لا بيَّا ولا عَلَيَّا

فِي يُوم مِن الأَيَّام، وِأَنا قَاعِد في قَهْوَة، دَخَلَت سِتّ وِقَعَدِت عَلَى تَرَابِيزَة قُرَيِّبَة مِن بِتَاعْتِي. هِيّ اخْتَارِت التَّرَابِيزَة الكِبِيرَة اللِّي جَنْب الشِّبَّاك وِفِي وِشّ مَدْخَل المَحَلّ. التَّرَابِيزَة دِي بِتَاخُد خَمْس أَفْرَاد.

أَوِّل حَاجَة عَمَلِتْهَا بَعْد مَا قَعَدِت، نَزَّلِت سِتَارَة الشِّبَّاك، وِبَعْد كِدَه قَامِت مِن مَكَانْهَا وِرِجْعِت بِـ"ريموت" التَّكْيِيف فِي إِيدْهَا وِشَغَّلِت التَّكْيِيف عَلَى حَوَالِي ١٧.

فَجْأَة، المَكَان بَقَى مِضَلَّم وِسَاقِع. أَنَا اتْعَفْرَتّ، وِاتْوَقَّعْت إن الزَّبَايِن التَّانْيِين بَرْضُه اتْضَايْقُوا مِن السِّتّ اللِّي قَلَبِت المَكَان مِن الأَرْض لِلمَرِّيخ فِي مَافِيش.

وَأَنَا بَرَاقِب رَدّ فِعْل الزَّبَايِن التَّانْيِين فِي القَهْوَة، لَاقِيتْهُم مَاخَدُوش بَالْهُم مِن اللِّي حَصَل وَلَا فَارِق مَعَاهُم. أَنَا اسْتَسْلِمْت وِطَلَبْت الحِسَاب وِمِشِيت.

أَنَا مُنْبَهِر قَدّ إِيه المَصْرِيِّين بِيِسْتَحْمِلُوا بَعْض.

This story was written by Rene Molina

النمو الشخصي

النهارده رحت الشغل عشان أختار جدول مواعيدي. في الشغل عندي، كل أربع شهور الموظفين بيختاروا جدولهم وبيقدموا طلبات الإجازة. فأنا رحت عشان أختار جدول مواعيدي وقدمت طلبات الإجازة بتاعتي للأربع شهور الجايين.

اليوم كان مليان جدًا. صحيت بدري عشان درس العربي، وبعد كده رجعت نمت شوية، ولما صحيت عملت شوية تمرين، وبعدين رحت اجتماع الشغل.

من أول ما اشتغلت في المطعم ده، ماكنتش عايز أكون علاقات أو صداقات، عشان خلاص بقى عندي ٤٠ سنة، واتعلمت إني ما اهتمش لو الناس بتحبني ولا لأ.

بعد الاجتماع، قعدت في كافيه عشان أكتب مذكراتي. أنا جيت الكافيه عشان مش عايز حاجة تشتيتني زي ما بيحصل في البيت: حاجات زي التيك توك واليوتيوب وكل أنواع التشتيت التانية.

بسبب مرحلة النمو الشخصي اللي بمر بيها، اتعلمت أحب نفسي أكتر من أي وقت تاني في حياتي. اتعلمت إن الطرق القديمة بتاعتي كانت بتخليني تعبان نفسيًا، وكان لازم أحاول أعيش حياتي بطريقة مختلفة.

مثلاً: بقيت أهتم بنفسي، وبنام أكتر من قبل كده، وده بيخليني أحس إني مرتاح. ودلوقتي ما بقيتش أحس إني لازم أساعد حد قبل ما أساعد نفسي الأول.

بعد ما حسيت بتعب نفسي عشان اهتمامي برأي الناس فيا، قررت أغير ده وأجرب حاجة جديدة مختلفة.

وعلى رأي لاو تزو (Lao Tzu):

"اللي يهتم برأي الناس، يعيش طول عمره في سجن."
