Thinking a lot, how it's usually now governments the ones that make the divisions between countries, more than the people. How you can be so warmly received by the locals and a migration-related authority wants you out --even if you're not doing anything wrong, even if you're an asset to the situation. Happened back in the country where I was born, to many. Still happens. Also happens here. In cases close to me, it has meant relatives sent back to Europe, separating families because some stupid form wasn't properly signed. Because we make it hard for others to touch our true selves, our inner circle; it just might be fair, following this mindset, to make it hard for others to become part of our country.
I'm thankful for the lessons learned and the people that have made my life richer by allowing me into their own in this awesome country. But its not-so-awesome policies are pointing towards that phrase, "history repeats itself"... And I don't want another split in my relationships. I'm usually a loner, but by choice. Not because I'm forced to. When you try to force me, I will, out of spite, do the contrary of what's asked. I will not let go. I might go back, if that will keep me in touch with those I wish they were here, making this a better place. Alas, in a world where common sense is a rare commodity, I guess I am destined to only be here as a tourist from now on. Pity.
Even if I don't break the rules, I suppose I'm being a bad citizen, by not following the lead.
I'll go, stand in the corner and think of what I said.
