So Here I Am Again

Hello Fellas,

Most of you probably won't know who tf I am lol. I used to be very active in this site since back in 2008ish. I witnessed the DA getting shot down multiple times over and over again. I still remember waking up on my birthday in 2010 and seeing the dream act killed by Republicans. So much frustration, stress, and disappointment. I lost so much during those days....especially the love of my life due to the amount of stress I had during those days. Not to mention also being unemployed and a number of other stupid problems.

We all finally got our permits and got very busy. I saw it as a race. I had to catch up on so much on my field. I felt like I was way behind from everyone. I worked hard, did tons of research on my field, studied, lost touch with a lot of friends, family, and some great folks who I met on this site. (shout out to my boy SMOOTH!) not sure if he's still around. I won the race, at least that's what I felt like until now.

I increased my salary about 6x more than what I used to make. I am the highest paid member of my family. I carried the whole family (including parents) on my shoulders financially for quite some time. As of today, I do not feel like a champ. I feel like I lost an important part of who I used to be.

I want to apologize to all of you for being selfish and abandoning this site right after I went crazy with my permit. I just felt like I wasted so much time being undocumented....sigh. Now, I am back. Wondering what the hell is going to happen to all of us.....What put us in this situation? I feel the same frustration I felt back then. Wondering why the fkn conservatives did not give a rats shit about our situation.

We are being held hostage again. Fuck it. Just live your life to the best you can. These assholes don't care about that precious gift you have. Live it. Don't allow Trump or Sessions to play around with that gift.

Don't apologize for living your life after getting your DACA approval.

Stay strong bruh.

Hoping for the best for all of us.

I'm not an active poster or anything, I just lurk from time to time. This post hit me. I did not continue my education, settled for a blue collar job (that I love) but I feel like the past 5 years have been a complete waste. Be proud that you were able to accomplish what you have done.

As for feeling frustrated, yes, of course. I'm grateful to Obama for giving us an opportunity to live a semi normal life, but it sucks that it couldn't have been a more permanent solution. I don't expire until next October but I'm really stressed out. Marriage isn't a solution and my job won't sponsor. I don't know man.

Thanks bro

I truly believe that we will be fine. I don't think the dream act will pass but Bridge Act should pass as from the news, we have enough votes.

We are in the system and letting us go back into the shadows is not an option for either side! Trust me and keep your hope alive! Keep working hard everyday and live your life to the fullest!

Idk man. We might just go back to being undocumented. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Hey bro. Still here.

Loud and clear bro. True words for those of us who remember what life was like in the shadow. We did it before, hell we can do it again. America is great, and I'm proud to be part of what makes it great.

Hope is not lost, with or without status.

I think a lot of people are back. I myself forgot to be humble once i was approved. I felt nothing like this could happen and things could only get better. But yet here we are.

Sucks to go back to the shadows but for many of us, that is the only option for now.

Never give up, there's always a way. Some of us who are older know what it took when we had to work and get life going in the shadows.
