I'm in the shower and I'm writing a song, 🎶
Stop me if you heard it. 🎶
My skin is soapy and my hair is wet, 🎶
And Tegrin spelled backwards is Nirget. 🎶
I sing this everyday, showering, making coffee, doing laundry. It's addictive and has a rythm, making it a pop hit!
🎵And lather rinse repeat, lather rinse repeaaaaat, and lather rinse repeaaaaat. 🎵As needed🎵
My best friend is literally the sweetest person I have ever met in my life. She’s the kind of girl who leaves no one out. When she started planning her bridal party/events, she literally made a massive group chat for bridesmaids with over 20 girls in it. Any girl who had ever been close with her, friendly with her, or part of her life at some point was included because she just wanted everyone to feel included.
As soon as the gc was made, her college friends immediately started bitching and whining about the dress color she wanted (Aubergine). Instead of shutting it down, my sweet friend actually let them vote on the color they wanted. Only for those girls to say they can't even come to the wedding!
Back in June, I messaged the group asking if anyone had bought their dresses yet or started planning anything. They all said it was "too soon" (the wedding is in August). While I’ve been twitching over what to wear since March.
It gets worse.
She made a separate gc for the girls attending her bachelorette so they could figure out logistics. Since I can't make it, due to another wedding on that day, I asked her to still add me so I could see what they were planning and maybe throw out some fun suggestions.
To my surprise, I look at the chat and she is literally TALKING TO HERSELF. She'll ask "who has a car and can drive?" or she'll ask "What should we bring and who can handle what?" Absolute silence. They just see the message and say nothing!
What breaks my heart is that these girls aren't even new friends. They’ve known her longer than I have. They went to college together, travelled abroad together to do masters, they lived together!
It’s so painfully obvious that she considers them her friends, but they treat her like an acquaintance they're forced to deal with out of obligation. And i feel like i can't say anything because she knows them longer and more, and she loves them.
Anyway, just wanted to vent. Thanks for reading.
I work an 8-5 job but looking for places to volunteer on weekends. Looking for something related to women, or orphans but open to all ideas.
If you have suggestions or know places please let me know.
Thanks!
البحرين ماشاءالله فيها كثير جنسيات ولهجات عربية مختلفة بس لاحظت ان الناس صارت تفضل انها تحكي انجليزي مع بعض على انها تبذل شوية مجهود حتى تفهم لهجة الشخص الثاني.
بالرغم اني تونسية الجنسية وكثير من الاحيان الناس تتحجج انها "ما تفهم لهجتي" لكني دايما افضل اني احكي مع الناس بلهجة بيضاء ممكن يفهمها اي احد يحكي عربي. بس والله كل ما اروح على فعاليات ١٠٠٪ عربية او حتى وانا جالسة في كافيه اسمع اثنين من دول عربية بس يحكو مع بعض انجليزي.
لا اعتقد ان المشكلة في التواصل او حتى في الثقافة وكونك تحكي انجليزي قد يكون اسهل في بعض الاحيان لكن هذي العادة ستساهم في اندثار لغتنا العربية بشكل خطير.
احب اسمع رأيكم في الموضوع 🤍
