// God Bless My Culture!//

Today I was just thinking about how much I miss my family back in Kurdistan, and then I started to compare my culture with the European culture. 

Here in Europe it’s all about status, money, materialism etc. so often if you’re invited to a ”white” persons house they’ll do everything to make the appearance look divine. They’ll use expensive china, napkins, wine glasses, wine and so on. And when you enter the room and see the setup you’re amazed, because it all looks so beautiful! But then because they try to make something delicacy or use expensive ingredients they don’t make enough of it, and their guests end up going home hungry - all the “high class” appearance fades. This is of course not always the case, but the european standard on this matter is so weird  to me. 

Because in my culture it’s not like that at all! Whenever I’m back home, they always make TONS of food, all kind of different kurdish dishes and salads - everything your heart (and stomach) desires. And there, it’s not like they invite 5 people and close the door to everyone else. I swear we might start out with being 5-7 people but end up being 15+. Because there they are soooo hospitable, family members, friends, neighbors stop by and join for a meal, and there is always enough food for everyone and because we’re always so many we never sit at the dinner table (they don’t even have one lol), we sit on the floor in the living room, side by side, with our loved ones and talk and laugh while we hear stories from my grandfathers childhood and on how the world has changed from when he was young. 

That is life for me, that’s quality time with loved ones. That’s the feeling of belonging and damn how I miss my family. 

I’m gonna bake some cupcakes now! Love baking. Can’t wait ‘till I have kids, I know I’d bake cake and stuff with them every weekend, and then we’d sit in the living room with our cake, hot chocolate and watch cartoons. 

Dream scenario.

7. How you came across Tumblr, and how your life has changed since joining. 

Uhm alright, I try not to get too addicted and emotionally connected to websites. But I really love Tumblr. I’m a HUGE Conspiracy theorist - and through Tumblr I can get all of my thoughts and feelings out no matter if it’s about friends, family, work, society, NWO, etc. 

Plus my friends were getting really tired of me “Diz, shut up, you’re always talking about that conspiracy shit!!” - Now I turn to Tumblr instead. lol

And I’ve gotten some pretty dope friends here.

Write about your closest friends:

Soo.. I’m fortunate enough to have several very good friends. Here’s a little presentation of them.

Marie: 

She has been my best friends for, uhm.. probably since I was 9-10 years old. We’ve been through everything together. She’s such a tolerant and understanding person, and Iove that she’s so patient and calm. She’s the part of me who’s down to earth and very ambitious. <3

Sandra:

This girl is my soulsister. We’ve been friends since the age of 5 - and she understands every part of my soul. She’s so beautiful and funny. A typical day with her is filled with laughter and doing stupid shit that people think is crazy. But it’s just our kind of humor. She’s the part of me who will never die. A beautiful soul indeed. <3

Iman:

She’s the craziest person i’ve ever met! I’ve known her since I was like 6-7 years old I think. When I’m with her I seriously cry because we laugh so hard. She’s such a naive and pure girl - God bless her soul. But that’s just mad funny for me, ‘cus often it takes her a while to understand a dirty joke. lol!! We’ve been through so many bumps but something always pulls us back together. She brings out the child in me. <3

Shandra:

Shandra is my hooomegirl!! Always down to kick it and just be LAZY. True friends can do nothing together, and that’s the deal with me and her - for sure!! We know that we can hang out and there’s no need for words all the damn time. Sometimes we give each other a look and we know what’s up - it’s hilarious! Like if a person did something weird  and both me and her notices and then look at each other.. Oh God, Can’t even explain how funny it is! She’s the part of me who always (tries) to be reasonable. <3 

Sakineh: 

This is my big sis!! She’s such an amazing person. Got mad love for her. She’s such an inspiration and hilarious girl. I love being with her. 27 years old and still got the humor of a teenager. Lovely person!! She’s the one who’ll always have my back. <3

Anne: 

This is a person you guys have to met! She’s epic! Such a superstar and outgoing person. She’s so loving and caring, and will always hug and kiss you and tell you how amazing you are. She’s my rock! She’s the part of me who wants to be a good girl. <3

Sümeyye:

This is my beautiful turkish delight. Who knew that life would turn out the way it did. When I first met her around 7-8 years ago she was a little girl with a big ass afro and glasses. She was such a humble and shy girl. Now she’s a beautiful confident woman. And I couldn’t be more proud of her. <3 She’s the one who I can cuddle with and laugh and hug and kiss even though I haven’t seen her for a long time. <3 

I wish you guys could meet all my friends. You would love them.

// Worry of the day.//

I wish I could just go to Syria and send all my family members to Europe. And then stay in Syria and fight for their rights. I might not have weapons but I’d do whatever I can - I’d fight them with my bare hands, I’d throw rocks at them. Whatever, I don’t care. 

I’m just sick and tired of always coming home from Uni and worrying if my mom got bad news for me. 

I would definitely change the kurdish rights. We have NONE.

My uncle and cousin just got locked up for no reason at all, and my other cousin who’s fighting against the system has disappeared. :(

PLEASE PRAY FOR SYRIA.

Let’s fight the system and send the protesters some strong energy.
