Maahy's portrait
Maahy: "Don’t just exist, live and feel alive instead"
BPP: Who
are you? And who you really are?
Maahy: My name is Maahy, and im 18 years old. Born
and raised in Maldives, I’m an aspiring illustrator, a dreamer, a seeker of
inspiration and someone who thoroughly enjoys every little thing life has to
offer. Every day, I take some time to devour my mind with beautiful memories
and it keeps me sane. I love the rain, flawed spirits, laughter, madness and
intriguing strangers. I have no idea where I’m headed now, but I hope I go far.

BPP: If you
could say something important to others who were listening, what would you tell
them?
Maahy: Be yourself, dream a little at night, then dream some more, get inspired
everyday, never hold your tongue even if there is a crack in your voice, don’t
just exist, live and feel alive instead.

BPP: What is your true dream, the one
that keeps you up at night and if one day it were to come true you would feel
peace and calmness in your heart?
Maahy: I like to wake up in the night and listen to
the silence and the chilly wind. It makes me think, about life, myself and my
ideal future. The true dream, I believe, is to just be happy, and to find my
own spotlight in this world, no matter what I become, I want to be content with
my past decisions, make my family proud, and to accept myself for who I am.

BPP: How is
life currently for the people in your country and what would you wish for them
and for the planet at large?
Maahy: I come from one of the most beautiful places in
the world. However, the economy is under mass friction. Too much politics and
politics is a nasty game they say. Too much individualism, difficulty of
accepting each other as fragments of humanity, etc. However I believe, the
country will soon find hope and progression in terms of freedom, acceptance and
unity for its people.

BPP: If you
had a chance to be a child again would you choose the same life? live the same
life again?
Maahy: No thanks. Life is short, and I would not mind experiencing it in a
whole different perspective, as someone or something different. A bird maybe?
It sounds strange but I always
wanted to experience what it’s like to fly, that sense of freedom and endless
journey.

BPP: What
was the exact moment that you realized what you wanted to do with your life?
How did you feel at this very moment?
Maahy: I had always been caught in this dilemma
between choosing my profession as a doctor or an artist. Ever since I remember
being able to scribble lines, I always had a fascination for art. I grew up in
a society that had minimum encouragement and hope for artists. However, I have
come to realize lately, that i am no one without my art, despite where I am,
and it keeps me happy in this damned world. So whatever I end up doing in the
future, I will always draw and will always be a free spirit.

BPP: Would
you like to tell us something we didn’t ask until now?
Maahy: I want to thank everyone
who has acknowledged and appreciated my work and for being an amazing source of
motivation, unconditional support and love. I love you all.
