Immigrant Blues:

Summer 2010
“It’s been three years, nine months, and seventeen days since I truly began comprehending the difficulties of the immigrant experience.  All of the old conceptions, judgments, beliefs, and attitudes, were completely re-calculated when I landed 7,000 miles from my home, equipped only with twenty years of New York City street life.  The past few years have been a balancing act, a tug of war between letting go of one homeland and trying to embrace a new one.  What about my past can I afford to give up, without feeling as if I’m losing myself?”

    Consider adding to oneself in the attempt to assimilate into another culture as opposed to losing oneself. Your thoughts are very interesting.
