Levant Wine and Barbecue
Allow me to take you on a journey to the majestic mountains of Bekaa Valley, Lebanon where a prestigious vineyard by the name of Chateau Musar creates the most decadent wines known to the Middle East. Earlier this year, I was researching my ancestors’ birthplace and I discovered the wonders of wine making. As a fourth generation Lebanese-American who was born in South Carolina, I was enthralled by the commitment and dedication that Gaston Hochar, the founder of Chateau Musar, implemented to perfecting his craft. In 1930, the boundaries of Lebanon had not been rectified and Hochar wanted to guarantee that his premises would be inside the newly established country.

Bipolar Psychosis
I do not recall a time in my life when my emotions were "norma.l" My moods have always ranged from empty, hopeless, isolated to excited, untouchable, and godlike. I couldn't feel pain that I caused to myself or others. I had no remorse, I was apathetic, I couldn't understand others' tribulations. Yet, in the back of my mind, in my soul... I understood others and I was sympathetic to their cries of exhaustion that I was trusted to hear. But I did not care emotionally because of my own internal grief.
