tomorrow officially starts my 15th year in the “United” States. I’m gonna make a cake. Not to celebrate- I was just gonna make one anyway🥕
#something I often think I back on is when I was getting medical exam for immigration#(had to get chest X-rays and certain immunizations from an embassy-approved doctor)#was an American guy who asked where I was headed#and when I told him he said nyc was going to chew me up and spit me out#as it turns out I’ve been okay#but it’s really surprised me how hard life in the United States is#especially growing up with various media that shows a very different story#even more surprising was how so many Americans seemed unaware of how hard it was (although that’s changed a lot in 15 years)#a good friend (also an immigrant who’s now in NJ) asked me this morning if I would leave the U.S. based on result of this election#I guess anything is possible but I don’t think so#I’m in so many bubbles here: in nyc; in my neighborhood; and even in my immediate local blocks#and despite everything this is still the happiest I’ve ever been in my life#also people paint a very rosy picture of NZ and Australia but it’s kinda going to shit there too#omg long tags
