Anonymous asked: I follow your blog and Twitter religiously. Welcome to Tumblr, I hope you enjoy the stay. I truly look forward to seeing what you post here!

Nutella; the snack of champions.
Lebanon’s Resistance Museum, an interactive museum that showcases over 24 years of resistance against Israel; Taken in the heart of my native South Lebanon last winter.

At one point, I was chained to the ceiling of a building and hung by my hands for days. A doctor sometimes checked if I was O.K.; then I would be strung up again. The pain was unbearable.
Nothing I said satisfied them. I realized my interrogators were not interested in the truth.
Despite all this, I looked for ways to feel human. I have always loved animals. I started hiding a piece of bread from my meals and feeding the iguanas that came to the fence. When officials discovered this, I was punished with 30 days in isolation and darkness.
I remained confused on basic questions: why was I here?
