I AM TIRED. I am tired of waiting for things to change. I am tired of being hated because of racism and xenophobia. I am tired of being a fourth class citizen (US Citizen>Resident>Work permit legally from another country>DACA). I am tired of not traveling overseas. I am tired of being told to 'get married' when I do not wanna do so, I cannot play that game.

I know we are here illegally, but it's a burden that was imposed upon us. Most of us are doing as best as we can, and even then (I have a BBA and over five years of experience in my field) it has been difficult to get a good paying job.

If worst was to happen...I will keep on saving until I cannot work anymore. I will then sell everything I have here and move on with my life. I will move back to my home country (Mexico). I will travel around. I will lift the burden I have been carrying for more than 15 years, and then MOVE ON.

And then...good riddance. Thank you USA, you did not offer me enough to pursue my happiness but you gave me enough to become what I am today.
