Where do you go when being at home only causes stress and you dread every minute you walk through the door? How am I suppose to feel, when I never know what I am coming home too? I am a college freshman; however, I decided to live at home this semester! (WOW!) It's the first time I've lived with my mother in a long time because she dosen't care much about her kids.  Read More »

The Things They Carried - Soldiers and Vietnam

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

The draft and Selective Service process for all U.S. soldiers as well as African-American soldiers can only be understood and recognized by those who truly cared about the lives of the young men and women sent to Viet Cong to fight the internal and external enemy.

This is the first of a series of entries about my trip back to my country, Taiwan.*

I am near the end of my trip here in Taiwan. I've only returned thrice since migration to the states 13 years ago, twice of which are related to death of a relative, and all of which lasted less than two months.  Read More »

Tagged:  •    •  

Home. It's the one place you can go where you know you will be safe, loved, and cared for. It's a haven, a shelter, somewhere to find peace. My home is wherever my family happens to be.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend several nights ago, in my cramped efficiency apartment (but that's irrelevent, just a little information on the status of my current environment).
