How much do you weigh? How tall are you? How much is your balance? How many followers do you have? What is your job rank? When was the last time you changed your car? What did you complete your studies? Why did you get married? What did you get pregnant? Didn't you change your house? Questions that seem normal and intuitive, but they provoke human emotions that are responsible for the extinction and withdrawal of many, the deterioration of their psychological state, and their emotional isolation from themselves, their families, and their social circles. In this episode, we discuss the feeling of shame and inferiority, its causes, its roots, and what are the best ways to deal with it and overcome it... so that we can see the light in the darkness, and regain the pleasure of courage, and the blessing of empathy and awareness.

Nostalgia
Between the smell of rain, the sound of the dawn prayer, and an old song that passes by chance, nostalgia takes us without asking to places, people, and old versions of ourselves. In this poetic episode of Abjoura, we delve into nostalgia as a human emotion and understand its psychological and cultural roots, and how it transformed from a “syndrome” into a universal feeling that touches everyone. From childhood and memory, to music, cities, and travel, all the way to the journey of nostalgia and returning to places that shaped us, not to live in the past, but to reconcile with it, and understand ourselves more... An episode about longing for what has passed, gratitude for what was, and longing for what is gone forever. | A great team worked on this episode: Lubna Al-Khamis, Dania Musa, Abdullah Al-Balawi, Faisal Kharmi, Hisham Al-Adini, and produced by Bicycle House.
