Hanging dreams



The most painful memory I had in 2021 and with the arrival of the Taliban. Suicide was my best friend.     The girl we were in school with for 12 years, we were in the same class and after graduation we went to the same university. This girl's name was Mehr, she was a very worthy and brave girl and had many dreams, she played in the football team at school at a young age and was very fond of football, and her favorite player was Ronaldo and one of her dreams. He wished to get to know Ronaldo closely, he always continued this activity and was very successful. Later, he passed the entrance exam of Kabul University, where he studied French literature and obtained the first rank with great interest. did not take long. When the Taliban came, everything was destroyed, everything changed, and no one had the right to study and exercise, and everyone was imprisoned at home, and this made Mehr no longer the former girl, because she is very much a girl. . He was intellectual and free and defended women's rights, but he no longer had this right, and this occupied his thoughts day by day, and until finally, depression overtook him and he was in a very bad state of mind. . 6 months. Later he endured this situation, one day I got the news that he committed suicide, hanged himself at the door of his house with a rope and died. I lost it and it is no longer with us, I had to stop being silent and fight for Afghan girls so that no more girls can commit suicide because of losing their dreams and I started to fight with myself and I always tried to give girls spirit and Save them from depression and despair and keep the light of hope in their hearts with my words and texts .     What should I do after you are satisfied, beautiful flower?
     What to do in the world when you are young?
     It is a medicine for every pain except the warmth of youth
     What can I do to treat a pain that is not his?
     I said why did you go and this was your plan
     He said what can be done that this was the destiny
     I said it is not time for you to travel so early
     They said, don't say that he was a friend for expediency
     Lasting for the hearts that are waiting for you. We will never forgive the heavenly sin that took you in our arms and took you with us. I don't know what I will do after your death.
