I guess it’s a pride thing. It’s the pride of knowing more than anyone (yet knowing nothing at all), or having more than anyone (yet having nothing at all). Experiences, are subjective; then again, why do I fear returning back to Ceiba? I don’t want to live a mundance, mediocre life.

I’ve seen progress. For the first time, I could actually make a living out of life. For the first time I could choose what I wanted. There are many things that I’ve seen, and I don’t want to get off from it!
Well, this is America: land of the free, and home of the brave. The land where Lady Liberty bewitches everyone who passes through the Harbor. This is where the President is working in our backyard, or the balseros risk their lives to reach the coast, or people fighting their way through a politicized immigration bill, or teabagging to Congress. This is where cars were made, capitalism is hailed, flights abound, variety remains, and everybody claims as their home. This is the place where people don’t give a crap if you eat or drink, sleep or bathe, dress or clothe, or even masturbate! But it you’re lucky, you’ll find people who take care if you eat or drink, sleep or bathe, dress or clothe, or even masturbate!
So we’re going back. It’s official now, yet discouraging. I have, indeed, written about the big U.S. of A., school, grades, music, boils, random life topics, politics, worship, dreams, goals, personal thoughts at the expense of my family, and more to come. I felt that this is my place: Maryland –and the rest of America- provided me with freedom, choices, chances and more opportunities than what I’d ever consider in Puerto Rico. I guess I was born (technically!) in the USA! (Noteworthy reference!)
“In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” (John 16:16) In all of the ages, no hope or event has come so predicted, so unreachable, so… unthinkable, that it is certain will happen sooner than we think of: the return of Christ and the consummation of the ages. “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.” (Matthew 24:32-34) |
