It seems to me that we half-breeds, particularly of the half Russian half Arab kind, take everything close to our hearts. And by that I mean, we are too emotional, too attached and too volatile.
It is both a strength and a weakness.
Maybe it is the combination of two of the strongest, fiercest cultures in the world. Maybe it is the experience of growing up in a battleground home. Maybe it is the feeling inside us tearing us apart; we don't know where we belong, we don't know which way to go, we have two sides waging war with each other. We are in conflict all the time, yet we are so loyal, so ferociously protective of each side that it somehow balances out.
Hot and cold – emotional yet distant.
We are sensitive, scared, easy to hurt. We bristle at the thought of anything trampling over our territory. We can live anywhere.
We look for that elusive feeling of home.
Or maybe we don't.
Maybe it's just me.
