The longest journey I've ever been on, the quest to be apart of this country has been one that has forced me to make tremendous sacrifice.I have faced evil and have fought through it whether it be at the hand of the government that makes it soo dificult to become an American, or at the hands of some people I had the misfortune of encountering. I've done more than my part and kept moving forward. I feel lucky because my life is like a strange road twisting and turning and I have met great people, good people along different paths who inspire me so much and who nourish me and I love them so very much. Now I have progress. I am here standing at the foot of Mt Doom, ring in my pocket. Looking around at all the despair of hungry black sheets of cloud and ash billowing from the top. All my applications are sent in. I've done all that I've needed to do! So now, ironically, all I have to do is wait for a reply. Wait. Wait. Wait. It's what I've been waiting for almost twelve years and what is required of me at this moment. So I'll sit with my friends, my loves, my memories and experience in hand. I'll sit quietly at the foot and watch as lava flows down. Wait for a reason to get up and march to the top and destroy my burden once and for all.
