Do not become friends with a refugee if you know what's good for you. Besides the fact that they will make Borat-like pronouncements, the wants and needs of a 'fugee are endless. Despite my admonishment, Hazira is my friend and what follows below is her gospel:
You were so furious then you got in touch with your better self...None of my relationships are so easily destroyed.I think when we are spontaneous, we are at our most human.Obama is such an example of positive psychology.I felt safe the moment that I met you but I also sensed that you could be a tough character.You know what energizes me? Nice people energize me...Keepittogetherkeepittogetherkeepittogether.In my country, we don't have to call before stopping over at someone's house.Me: I just have one more thing to do -- get my battery checked out.
Hazira: If you go and get it checked out then you're going to need a new battery.After demonstrating my new self-massage skills...
Hazira: Tapping. Okay, drumming...I feel so relaxed just watching this show (In Treatment).Nobody gives me credit...Do I get recognition for that?I'm going to reflect on that later.Once you are a refugee, you're always a refugee.Happy Birthday Bosanski Scalawag!
happy birthday to Hazira!! I think you have a lifelong friend right there :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same as her....when i have meaningful relationships, they are VERY hard to destroy.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the b-day wishes for Hazira.
Re: the lifelong thing, you mean that we're stuck with each other? ;)
Also, that's cool that you have the same philosophy about meaningful relationships.
