Growing Up Arab

We Never Smile

I don't know how y'all have it in your countries, but in Jordan, no one ever smiles. Every person you randomly glance at, you'd find their face expressions straight or like -_-. The 3arab in the west are the same. The ones around me are mostly Syrians, Yemenis, and Palestinians, and some Egyptians, but they're the exact same. Like fam, is this some kind of Arab thing or?! Like what even?! Freaking smile for a change, good Lord. Like that's it, next time I see a 3arabi with an expressionless face, I'm gonna shove a paper up their freaking face that says, ".تبسمك في وجه أخيك صدقة"

Shout out to the ones who do smile. :)
