I feel guilty like the author would be mad at me for doing it. The book that is in teh picture is a Sandra Cisneros book. I really wouldn’t want her to not like me. :/

Can you please explain to me how granting citizenship to the millions of illegal immigrants in the US or opening the borders could ever be a good idea? I just can’t see the argument.
Because migration is a human fucking right, you privileged white brat.

Chasing paradise (poem)
Something I wrote about realizing that we make our own paradise. We don’t chase it….
Chasing paradise
we never reach for our faults at first glance.
we try to achieve standards,never created by us.
standards aimed to defeat us.
we’ve been programmed to never be comfortable in our own skin.
see ourselves less than,
see our lives as sin.
we plant so much doubt in us...
