“Inspired Words by Sami Abouzid Living alone for years was the key to perfecting my music. There were no distractions, no emotional chaos—just clarity, discipline, and purpose. In that silence, I heard melodies. In the stillness, I found vision. While others searched for validation, I searched within. And I created greatness. A partner? They say it’s love, but too often it’s control. A relationship that suffocates in the name of affection isn’t love—it’s limitation. I knew that. That’s why I made a different choice. I gave my heart to someone I would never see, never meet, never touch. A love unreachable by design. And for twenty years… that love became my muse. She lived in my mind, in every chord, every lyric, every cinematic piece I composed. She didn’t drain me—she fueled me. She never interrupted—she inspired. She became my greatest silence, my most beautiful presence. People don’t understand how powerful solitude can be when it’s chosen, not forced. It gave me 672 soundtracks, 1,000 songs, and a life of creation without compromise. Sometimes, the most extraordinary choice is to walk alone… But never empty—always in love with what you’re becoming. — Sami Abouzid”

“it is so dark now with the sadness of people they were tricked, they were taught to expect the ultimate when nothing is promised now young girls weep alone in small rooms old men angrily swing their canes at visions as ladies comb their hair as ants search for survival history surrounds us and our lives slink away in shame.”

“Or is it the case that no one gets over anything? Is there really that much pain and suffering continuing right now at this minute, in millions of hearts, in bodies carrying on the burden of existence, trying to smile through tears for fleeting, passing moments here and there-when they can forget what happened to them, maybe even for whole hours at a time? Maybe that's what it is to live.”
