never mind that i had to work extra hard for the job i have because i had to prove that i am worth the investment and all the strings that come as an immigrant worker
these riots are making me want to go home bc can we talk about the mental weight it has to people like me? like the toll of having to prove that i should have the right to exist
nevermind that i passed an exam to prove my english skills, or that the visa process literally takes blood, sweat and tears, that i paid more than double the tuition from college to university, all to be able to study in this country
