Before coming here, I spent years wanting to see the world. I begged my parents to let me go anywhere at all. But I was too young or it was too far or too dangerous or there was no reason to go. I wasn't even allowed to cross the river. Now that I've finally seen the world, even if it isn't my own, how could I choose to forget it? Or all the friends I've made?
