Living in Tripoli is becoming unbearable
I live in Tripoli and Have been there most of my life, I have always tolerated dumb shit from people there because I love my city. However recently it has become too much to bear, in the last 3 months alone:
- Have been followed by 4 random men on different occasions asking me to "hang out" to the point of them becoming aggressive
- Almost got robbed twice
- Sleep every day to the sound of guns, because some moron decided he wants to spray the sky with bullets
- Had to listen almost every other day to one of my girl friends cry because they were either harassed or followed by creeps in the middle of the day.
on top of that, yesterday I was coming back from work in Beirut late and a random creep in a car followed me on Tal asking me to get in, and when ignored he started cussing and losing his shit. It's like the whole city goes into a coma at 7-8 pm and then it's filled with creeps and predators.
All I want is to be able to walk in peace at night to reach home, but even that is too much to ask in this fucking city.
I understand that these are things that happen everywhere, but lately, it is becoming too much and especially in Tripoli, I have lived before in Byblos and in Beirut and I have never been harassed to this magnitude.
Anyways, I am sorry for the gloomy post, ma n2asena saraha, I just wanted to vent about this situation.
