Look, I'm not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don't care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn't want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They'd rather buy lottery tickets.

Devotion to the faith (I still believe in God but I just don't feel connected to him), marriage, having children, cars, being super rich, universities, patriotism, being in an anglophone country just because I'm too good at English, being manly, being famous, football, traditional customs, I really could go on and on for days.

Can you tell I hate being Moroccan?

I'm not even connected to my so called "homeland" anymore. I desperately wanna leave, but visas are making it incredibly hard. And since there's a huge Moroccan diaspora basically everywhere (which the locals are tired of), I will get lumped together with them against my will.

I'm even queer. This is illegal in Morocco.

I hate that people just assume no immigrants are excited to be part of their new culture and leave the old one behind. I once knew an Iranian lesbian who was so excited to get to try being an American

People are very quick to make assumptions, generalize, and reach conclusions.

It's really just stupid.

Hugs. Hope you find a place where you can be you sooner rather than later
