I’ve invented a word: “misculturalized.” It
describes being born, raised and living in one culture when you’re probably
better adapted to another culture. And the culture I should have been raised
in? The one that celebrates naps. Spain. Mexico. Argentina.
How could I have been born in United States,
the country that hates – hates – naps? Think of everything we
miss when we succumb to temptation and take a nap: getting work done; staying
busy, looking like we’re staying busy; and rest.
Rest.
