What are we?
Notice how we didn’t say “Who are we?”
We are the overused term, “Millennials”. Minute 49:12 from the movie, Death to 2020, sums up the term perfectly, and with no shame, we are that term.
In this newsletter, we’ll be sharing/ discussing what our brains are wandering about. Basically, a bunch of scattered themes and subjects in both languages, Arabic and English.
The Trend

The Star of December 25th:
It’s not Santa it’s SOUL (Spoiler alert)
The movie that paved our way to soul searching.. Or are we exaggerating?
Pixar hit close to home this time. We don’t know if “being lost” comes with being in your 20s, but we sure are. Searching for this illusion of passion, has left us in a continuous state of questioning … life, work, and work. (work was intentionally repeated)
Lost Soul = Passionate Soul
Surprisingly, we never thought that chasing your passion could be perceived negatively. ATTACHMENT, FIXATION, and excessive DETERMINATION, could lead to the negligence of sentimental surroundings. Joe fantasized about playing in front of crowds all his life. He achieved that. He literally came back from the dead to do that. However, the reward didn’t fulfill him as he imagined.
Little things (Cliche)
A falling leaf, pizza, and talks with his barber are what ignited the spark of 22 (his co-star, the young soul to soon join earth). Of course in our case we’re grateful for the talks we have during traffic, laughter about allergies from the dust, and recently, the beautiful clouds :)
A movie about dying that made us feel more alive.
Emma Chamberlain
- The 19 year old blonde we look up to..
Let us introduce you to whom we’ve been following on Youtube, Instagram, and of course Tik Tok.
She didn’t reach the age of 20, yet she:
Owns a $4 million dollar home ... no we’re not materialistic, but COME ON.
Founded a coffee company (that we believe is successful although we never tried it).
Is a C-level executive at a make-up brand.. Yes we know that’s a marketing stunt.
Has almost 10 million subscribers on Youtube and god knows how many millions of views which we continuously contribute to.
She has a raspy voice.
A great sense of humor, and Fashion.
Doesn’t know how to talk to boys - we’re not sure of that but we relate to her so much that we had to assume that.
Oh and a very successful podcast which we have failed to launch and that’s why we are here..
✨ 2021 ✨
I hope you didn’t think this was the year we started making resolutions because it’s not. To be honest, we think time is arbitrary and the idea of goals demotivates us. Why? Have you ever met a perfectionist? Reaching a certain aim puts too much pressure on us. We prefer growing and developing gradually with Gratitude, “the theme of 2020”.
الحمدلله وشفناكم
