Finding My Voice That I've Lost
A Dream That Refused to Die... Music has been the soundtrack to my life for as long as I can remember. But chasing a dream in music isn’t a straight road it’s a winding path filled with detours, setbacks, and lessons that hurt as much as they heal.

Vast Dreams, Distant Stars
Vast Dreams, Distant Stars --- Prologue – The Boy Who Looked Up The night sky above Earth had always been a canvas of wonder for Arian. As a child, he would lie on the roof of his parents’ modest home, counting constellations until his eyes blurred. To him, the stars were not just distant fires—they were promises. Each shimmer whispered: There is more beyond this world. There is more beyond your limits. But in his mining town, life was measured in wages, debts, and survival. His parents often told him: “Dreams are vast, son, but they don’t fill empty stomachs.” Yet Arian refused to let go. While others rested, he studied. While others accepted limits, he scribbled equations on scraps of paper. --- The Dream Turns into a Mission At twenty-five, Arian’s persistence paid off. He was accepted into the Interstellar Initiative, a global program with one daring mission: to reach Kepler-452b, a habitable planet beyond Earth’s solar system. Training was ruthless. Many gave up, but Arian endured. His secret weapon wasn’t genius or strength—it was hunger, the fire to prove that even the unreachable could be reached. In training, he met Lyra, a brilliant trainee who shared his stubborn passion. One night, she asked him: “Why push so hard, Arian? You look like you’re carrying the whole galaxy on your back.” He smiled: “Because if I don’t chase the stars, I’ll spend my life wondering what could have been. I’d rather die reaching than live regretting.” From then on, they were inseparable—partners in both struggle and vision. --- The Launch – Leaving Earth Behind Years later, when the Starship Horizon stood ready, Arian and Lyra were chosen. Humanity gathered to watch as history unfolded. As the countdown began, Arian whispered to himself: “Vast dreams, distant stars. I am coming.” The ship lifted into the void. Earth shrank into a pale blue dot. Arian pressed his hand against the glass—saying farewell not only to his family but to the life that once tried to limit him. Beside him, Lyra murmured: “We’re really doing this.” “Yes,” he said. “We’re finally free of limits.” --- Wonders and Struggles in the Void The Horizon traveled faster than light, yet the journey was still endless. They passed glowing nebulas, fiery stars, and black holes that seemed to swallow light itself. But awe was tempered by hardship. A meteor storm battered the ship, systems broke down, and food supplies grew scarce. Fear and tension seeped into the crew. One night, Lyra whispered her doubt: “Arian…do you ever wonder if this dream is too big for us?” He placed a hand on her shoulder. “Dreams are always too big at first. That’s what makes them worth chasing.” His words gave her strength, but fate had its own test waiting. --- The Trial – When Dreams Demand Sacrifice Mid-journey, disaster struck. A malfunction in the oxygen system caused air levels to drop. Panic spread. Some argued to abandon the mission and return. Arian refused. He worked for days without rest. But then tragedy struck—Lyra collapsed, her body too weak from lack of oxygen. At her bedside, Arian held her hand, whispering desperately: “Stay with me. We didn’t come this far to stop now.” She forced a faint smile. “Promise me…if I don’t make it, you’ll keep going. Promise me you’ll reach the stars.” Tears blurred his eyes, but he nodded. “I promise.” Fueled by her words, he searched deeper into the machinery and discovered the fault—a damaged circuit hidden in the life-support system. With trembling hands, he repaired it. Oxygen returned, the crew was saved. But Lyra never woke again. --- The Silence of Grief The Horizon grew unbearably quiet for Arian. Without Lyra’s laughter, every step felt heavier. He often stood at the observation deck, staring into the abyss, whispering: “Why must dreams take the ones we love?” The stars gave no reply, but their silent light reminded him of her words. Dreams had not taken Lyra. Dreams had transformed her into something eternal—a fire that now burned inside him. Her promise lived on through his journey. --- Arrival – A New World At last, after years of sacrifice, the Horizon slowed before Kepler-452b. The planet filled their windows—emerald seas, golden plains, and swirling white clouds. Humanity’s new home. The crew cried with joy. Arian stepped onto alien soil, the air thin but alive. He knelt, pressed his palm to the ground, and whispered: “For you, Lyra. For all of us who dared to dream.” --- Legacy Among the Stars Decades passed. Settlements grew. Children ran under the twin suns of Kepler-452b. Humanity had survived, not because the journey was easy, but because someone had dared to believe it was possible. When people asked Arian how he endured so much loss and hardship, he always answered with a quiet smile: “Dreams are never too vast. The stars are never too distant. The only limits are the ones we accept.” And on clear nights, when the stars blazed across the alien sky, Arian would whisper the words that had carried him all his life: “Vast dreams, distant stars. We reached you. And we will keep reaching, as long as there are dreamers left to chase the impossible.” --- Moral of the Story Dreams may seem too vast, too distant, or even impossible. They demand sacrifice, courage, and resilience. But those who dare to chase them transform not only their own lives, but the lives of generations to come.

We live in a world louder than ever—yet it’s not the kind of noise you can plug your ears against. It’s the buzzing of notifications, the pressure of endless choices, the silent tug of comparison, and the overwhelming hum of always on culture.

Her Hands Smell of Petrol, Not Pity
In the narrow, sun-scorched streets of a small town in Pakistan, a three-wheeled motorcycle rattles its way through traffic. On its cart sit rows of recycled glass bottles, each one filled with petrol. The driver, Wali Khan, steers with his left hand—the only one that still works. His right hand and leg remain lifeless, paralyzed since the night tragedy struck in 2018.
