As the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah brings calm back to Beirut, many Lebanese are looking forward to a fresh start in 2025. Among them is Tia Chaaya, a speech and language pathologist who remained in the city throughout the turmoil.
“After everything we’ve been through, I want to focus more on my career and make people’s lives better,” Tia shared. The return to normalcy has reignited her passion for helping others communicate and connect.
The streets of Beirut are bustling once again as residents return home. The ceasefire agreement, which took effect on November 27, has allowed families to reunite and communities to rebuild.
“I also want to slow down and spend more time with the ones I really love,” Tia added, reflecting a sentiment shared by many in the city. The challenges of the past year have reminded everyone of the importance of family and personal well-being.
As 2025 approaches, the people of Beirut are embracing hope and renewal. Tia’s resolutions epitomize the resilience and optimism that define the Lebanese spirit.
