Every time i go to pick up an official paper, i already know iâm about to experience a new identity crisis;
university administration? wrong spelling
translatorâs office? congratulations apparently i was born in three different countries
hospital? suddenly my name has accents.. extra letters
Every office decides to freestyle it into chayma, chaimae, chaina, chaĂŻma..
And THEN we start the nationality/birthplace where I have to explain;
âno, iâm Algerianâ
âyes, i was born in Tunisiaâ
âno, that does not magically make me Tunisianâ
âand no, i was not born in Algeria either because my own paper literally says Tunisiaâ
Genuinely⊠i donât understand why nobody can just copy and paste the information EXACTLY as it is. like is it actually that difficult đ why are we all making this harder than it needs to be? youâre stressing me out and somehow creating extra work for yourselves too..
Is it a fvcking curse? Bcuz this problem is following me everywhereâŠ:'(
