Where are you from?
What does not kill you makes you stronger,
Just being a foreigner won’t kill you, but definitely, gives you a will to imagine you can become stronger one day. It is all because you are so lucky for being from a third world country that is ruled by a certain government.
OK, sure go back to your country and build it, that’s what you would hear, one day from a citizen.
You are not sure if going back to your country would not kill you! while willing to fight to get normal rights in a country with peace will make you a stronger person. Why would you choose for being killed?
Fighting to have normal rights will definitely make you stronger by being judged, asked, changed and getting adapted to the norms. You constantly have to fight, have to grow, have to learn, have to want more, yet doing all these, you still be the minimum and you accept it for just to be able to live in peace.
If you run from a war, you would get help, yet being judged, and stay minimum in the social rank. If you choose to be a respected and educated citizen, you would be questioned more, judged more and don’t forget to pay the administration fee in order to be questioned and judged.
ah,
One DAY,
You realize that you have it all, and you remember it was not easy to get there, you are happy that it has not killed you yet.
But maybe not strong enough, because you are questioned again
why?
You have been adapted to the culture, learned, grew, you did more than any other citizen of that city just sitting beside you on the metro seat, but the question will remain:
After all, why would like to be so different than the way you have been born and raised?
That’s the day you think, I hate to be asked where I am from.
You are alive and stronger! with a lost identity.
