After surviving the worst part of the pandemic, I finally gave myself space to breathe.
No deadlines. No hardware on the desk. Just time to explore. I went everywhere, probably visited every corner of the UAE. The contrast amazed me. Towering glass and steel on one side, raw desert and sea on the other. It’s wild what people can build… and what nature still does better.
Those few weeks of exploration were more than just a break. They gave me space to reflect. To feel everything I’d pushed down just to keep going.
And it hit me: this is just as important as the work. It took me a while to actually implement that lesson. But at least now, I know it.
