Hello World!
I have started this blog as a space to write about my favorite words, and add my own personal twist to their meaning. My name is Nada. It has different meanings and my favorite one is hope. Hope (noun): the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. If somehow you stumbled upon this page, I hope that some of the words in it bring you some of the comfort and joy that I found in writing them. I hope the world is treating you kindly. I hope you feel tempted to learn more about the meaning of your name and recognize the beauty within it and within yourself. I hope you hold on to the beauty within yourself.
Love and peace,
Nada
