Birth of a Majd
The event took place at Salmaniya hospital, I was originally thought to be a girl and my parents were surprised to find I was a boy. The event shaped me in that, there would be no personality to develop had there not been this event specifically. Without it, I am nothing. -
Birth Of a Comicbook Reader
School was about to start, and my mother had took me to Geant for school supplies, on my way there, I found a rack of interesting and colorful books. Comicbooks. One of Scooby Doo, and another of Fantastic Four, the first comicbooks I ever read, greatly influenced my passion towards the medium and my start to nerdhood. -
Birth Of A Metalhead
I was 5 years old, and 2 weeks before my birthday, my Grandfather had passed away. I was heartbroken, and I would go to his house every week. The only solace and peace I would find was in metal music, System Of A Down specifically. Eventually you'd find me blasting Megadeth in my sister's car, headbanging. This was very influential as today, I still find myself in love with metal music and consider it to be a large part of my personality. -
Birth Of Friendship
This was my first year at MKS, and for the first few months I had no friends, up until December 11th, 2014. It was national day, and I decided to talk as many people as I could and I made alot of friends, people that I still talk to today, and will be devastated when they leave this year, due to most of them being senior. This changed alot for me because I was no longer around people I despised but rather a welcoming community, and helped shape me as a person, a friend and me overall. -
Birth Of a Writer
I was 14 years old, she was around my age. I had had feelings for her for about 3 years of my life, and this was my last resort to getting her to like me. A poem. I oozed out every word I could to possibly explain her beauty, and this was not only the birth of an entirely different person who's focus was no longer on one person but rather himself after she broke his heart, this was the birth of a writer. A poet. A storyteller. -
Birth Of a Social Person
While the picture above clearly shows 2016, the first Animania Convention I had attended was in 2015, and this was a big deal for me because I had finally went to a place where I felt like I belonged, I got to explore my interests and make more friends, further abandoning the anti-social person I was when I was crushing over this one girl. -
Birth Of A Backbone
For months, I had been hinting towards my best friend that there was this girl that I had been heavily interested in, and I would ask her for advice, asking her to use herself as an example. Little did she know, the girl was her. The picture is of a ribbon that fell off the rose I gave her when I asked her out, she said yes, and that was sort of the beginning of me becoming a more confident person, and frankly the best day of my life. -
Birth Of Motivation
Early November, I got to meet and attend a concert here in Bahrain, to an ex GNR guitarist and overall kind and amazing person by the name of Ron Bumblefoot, I got to speak with the guy and something about him sparked a motivation in me in which I wanted to change for the better, he was a happy person doing what he loved, and that's what I wanted to be one day, especially a musician. It changed me for the better as I had finally reached the sort of person I wanted to be all along.
