Diary of the Culturally Dysfunctional III

. I'm still referring to men.. the ones we think are "suitable" suitors.. guess again.. talk to the man before you go deeper into getting engaged and married .. do you really want to marry a man who's experienced with other men? or boys? or a man who has had intercourse with so many women all over the globe..safe or not.. and comes nice and polished to your doorstep in the image of a knight in shining armor? I truly pray that all my girls get good men and everybody out there! because only ALLAH knows the real them.. not even their parents! and dont bother asking their friends.. they're just going to keep their mouth shut cause its their "CODE" I do not mean to demonize men and sanctify women, women have their crap too! but i'm simply placing what I have seen and heard first hand from guys.

Diary of the Culturally Dysfunctional II

First of all I'd like to note that "culturally dysfunctional" a term invented completely by my best friend/sister/soul mate. However I believe it perfectly describes the both of us. Its not easy being a third culture kid.. on the outside you look a certain way and people treat you according to a stereotype even some friends. That made me realize that people see you the way THEY want to see you.. only your real friends see you for whom you really are. They see your flaws but they also know what makes you..you.. they never misjudge you even if they argue with you and always give you the benefit of the doubt.. they always encourage you to follow your heart and not give a rat's behind what other people think because they see you no matter what your actions are. So being culturally disfunctional comes from basically not really fitting into the cultural mould you are "meant" to fit in. So for me being what I am makes certain people treat me a certain way..either b
