20 Years Burning down the road

It was 20 years ago that I decided to move out from Mexico into the USA. I was very young and full of dreams, I wanted all, education, fame and fortune, and why not love as well.

Crossing over on February 17 and driving on the 5 freeway was a big impression, everything seemed so huge and surreal.

I arrived at night around 11 and it was quite a shock to be in a foreign land.

I remember calling my brother and sister to let them know I have arrived safely.

I crashed and woke up the next morning, it was quite a shock to walk into the supermaket, the bookstore, the streets, to look a the signs and realize my dream had just started.

Was it a dream or a nightmare, I believe a little bit of both, a little bit of fortune and a little bit of drama and pain, I have been blessed with two kids that I don't get to see or spend time with as often as I wish, I have a decent job that appreciates me and I appreciate. I have lost too much due to love and bad decisions.

It is sometimes a nightmare and sometimes a dream, it's a love hate relationship.

20 Years burning down the road, I have places to see and places to go.
