A Year Overview That Led Me Towards 2026

-
Bedor Alobaidi/ Interested to ask me a question? Please go ahead. I will be more than happy to do my best in answering if it's something related to my personal knowledge.






A year has passed, and another one has just begun. I hope this new year brings goodness, kindness, and ease to all of us. Personally, 2025 was a challenging year, a continuation of struggles from past years. Perhaps it's because I've always wanted to grow, to give more, and to be more. Throughout this journey, I’ve been working on myself, striving to be someone who stands up and stands out—both for myself and for others in my community, whether in person or online through my platforms.


I have dug deep to prove a point, despite others undermining my efforts with their misguided advice about which direction I should take. I’ve witnessed those close to me and from afar who have taken every opportunity to mislead me with their opinions, considering themselves “professionals.” I often found myself following their unjust judgments about who I am, what I do, and what I am capable of achieving.


2025 felt like a repetitive cycle, albeit with some changes and challenges that made me want to quit, give up, and simply let it be. I grew tired as everything around me and beyond seemed discouraging. It felt like I was pushing harder and harder just to gain approval and to discover who I truly am. I hope those who hold specific expectations realize that I cannot simply fit into their mindset or conform to whatever standards they uphold in their community standards set. 


I’ve expressed my frustrations about this unfairness whenever I had the chance. Some of my good friends advised me to step back, suggesting that now is not the right time to assert myself. They empathized with my feelings but encouraged me to accept rejection as a means to keep moving forward.


These friends say supportive things yet often fail to show up for me or reach out with simple communication. It’s not that they don’t care or are too busy; rather, I’ve come to realize that I’m not a priority for them. This realization has shaped the way I plan to move forward with my life, as I was raised with certain expectations about loyalty and connection.


I apologize for the length of this message, but I refuse to be sorry for sharing my truth. If even one person—be it one, two, or ten—can relate to the feelings of lacking a sense of belonging or direction through their own experiences, then my words have served a purpose.


This is me, navigating all the obstacles I’ve faced, still holding onto hope that tomorrow can bring a fresh start.


2026, I’m ready for you! Let’s embark on this journey together, but please be kinder to me this time.


Thank you! 😊 


I was beautifully captured by the talented Whitney Warne, the founder of Ivory House Photography. I’m incredibly grateful to her and her team for making me feel good and boosting my self-esteem.


Thank you. 🩷

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not ...

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on sev...
