language, blessed introversion
Today, while researching legendary African musician/revolutionary Fela Kuti, I learned that the Nigerian Creole expression for "leave me the hell alone" is "biko free me" ("please free me").
I love the sentiments wrapped up in that. Big feels there. I might be a tad lonely down here but for my dragonlady, but... yeah, after years of being tangled up in people's drama, I'm feeling pretty damn free.
