I've decided to confirm my existence. Confirm being the key word in that sentence.
Who am I?
I am Nadia Hamidi, daughter of Ahmed Omar Hamidi and Muna El-Naffati.
I am from Libya.
I was born in London, England on the 25th of November 1987 at Portland Hospital.
I moved to Dubai in 2004.
I hate it.
I study photography.
Existence is a topic that philosophers and scientists alike have debated over for decades and they will continue. I am not here to prove or disprove any theories. Who am I to do that? I have neither studied philosophy or science, but I'm here, aren't I? I don't believe I don't exist, but I don't believe I do. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I believe I exist more than I believe I don't.
The word "exist" or "existence" is such a complicated one, as you can see from my earlier post it's hard to define.. dare I say impossible. I don't dare too actually, let's just stick with hard to define. Yet is used so easily, "existence" or "exist" has become a common word but do people really know what it means, the implications it brings? Has anyone really thought about it before they've used it. People exist, things exist? But do they really? What does that mean?
Like I said before, I'm not here to prove or disprove theories, or even make any of my own. I just want to confirm my own existence.
How? Evidence. Evidence of my own existence.
What is evidence? "Your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief"
I need facts. I need documents. I need papers.
I've decided to keep a "diary" and welcome... you're reading my diary. I could have kept a little book with me and jotted down all my notes only for me too read, but I've decided to make it public. And what more public place than the internet, for all of you to see. This is my evidence.. you reading this is my evidence. It scares me slightly, I'm generally a private person, so the idea of sharing all my personal things online terrifies me, but I feel like I need this to feel.. real.
So the journey begins.. and I'm not sure if it'll end.
