Tradition dictates that today, August 25th, I celebrate 🎉 MY 39TH BIRTHDAY 🎂. Within the past 365 days 📆 I have … … experienced clinical, extreme anxiety 😰 which kept me from sleeping 💤, eating 🍽️, working 🥃 and socialising 👯‍♀️ for nearly 7 months due to an inescapable, all-consuming family 🏠 tragedy 💔. … witnessed the #LebanonRevolution 🇱🇧 which saw over 1 million people take to the streets in protest ✊ against systemic corruption 💸, misconduct, discrimination, sectarian/tribal-ism and covert totalitarianism from a political elite 💩 with absolute immunity. … unbelievably not been able to withdraw, exchange 💱 or internationally transfer 🌐 my US dollar savings 💵 deposited in a Lebanese 🇱🇧 bank 🏦 due to capital controls 🚫, and lost 65% 📉 of the value of my LBP lira savings 💷 due to the worst currency crisis 💸 in Lebanon’s history. … tirelessly (and often hopelessly) fought to keep my businesses 💼 from closing during a global 🌍 #pandemic 😷 which without mercy crashed 📉 the world’s 🗺️ tourism industries ✈️ 🏨. … miraculously survived the #BeirutExplosion 💥 which took the lives of 200+ ⚰️, injured thousands 🤕 and devastated Lebanon’s 🇱🇧 capital city 🌆 while at home just 2km from the blast site 💥 with an unobstructed view of the port 🚢 from my balcony. Makram Salha is alive 🙏. Gizmo is alive 🙏. I am alive 🙏. It has been a very long time since I have made a #BirthdayWish 🌠, but I feel like this is the birthday of all birthdays to wish 🧞 for something 🎁. I wish that if you have the means to buy me a birthday drink 🍻 the next time we meet, instead you donate 🆘 those much-needed dollars 💵 at the GoFundMe links below to help my friends rebuild their bars 🍸 which were destroyed in the Beirut explosion 💥. Thank you 🙏. Cyrano & House Of Butlers: https://bit.ly/2YwEaJM Electric Bing Sutt: https://bit.ly/2YwEbgO Tenno: https://bit.ly/32kkpWR I am alive 🙏.

For those unfamiliar with Lebanon's sectarian political structure and wondering why revolutionaries are still protesting after the Government's resignation ... The resigned Lebanese Government consists of the Prime Minister (must be Sunni Muslim) and 20 cabinet Ministers. There is also the President (must be Maronite Christian), Speaker of the House (must be Shiite Muslim) and 128 Members of Parliament most of whom are loyal above all to their sect/religious leaders ... none of whom have resigned.

"In a unique post published on their social media accounts, Em Sherif Group (the restaurant, cafe, and seaside spot) has announced that upon reopening, they will no longer pay the 11% Value Added Tax to the [Lebanese] government treasury, but will be giving it to charities instead."

This post is about suicide. Please, talk to someone. There are options, trust me. #survivor "His name was Ali Al Haq. He shot himself in the head in broad daylight. He was carrying a Lebanese flag and a copy of his clean criminal record." This is the situation in Lebanon today. 💔
