Is there something in the bottled water here in Dubai? Why is everyone so flaky and bullshitting. People just ghost and don’t have proper etiquette to even just respond or call back. I’m speaking professionally, personally and romantically…

You show etiquette at a place where you believe you belong, a place you call yours. I’ve always seen Dubai as a Machiavellian paradise - move here, earn the money, move back to the place where you belong.

Etiquette comes from a sense of camaraderie and social responsibility. Probably if UAE allowed citizenship, it might have been different.

I’ve lived both extremes..the effortless convenience of the Gulf and the grounded stability of the U.S. And the truth is, I miss pieces of both. Dubai gives you comfort, culture, and a lifestyle that feels unreal at times, but the U.S. gives you long-term structure, growth, and a sense of permanence. I’m caught between wanting the short-term ease of Dubai and the long-term foundation I’ve built here. It’s a strange place to be..loving two completely different worlds for totally different reasons.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her.

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
