Bonjour tout le monde! I’m still working out the details on my upcoming trip. I can’t believe I fly out next week! And just like clockwork, my nerves have been getting the best of me. I’ve been having vivid dreams as well. Nothing bad, thank god. But it shows you how much stress I’m bringing on myself with my non-stop anxiety. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that this will always be the process with me whenever I travel. I thought by now it would get easier, but it hasn’t. The only positive thing I can say is that my nerves have started to bother me as the dates get closer to fly out.
Back to recapping my summer! My friend asked me if I would be interested in the Families Belong Together March back in June. I was very bothered with what was going on and felt the only way to let out my frustration was to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who were just as upset as I was. By this time, not much was happening since there was denial coming from our president, so people took it out to the streets by protesting varies cities. Me and my friends drove downtown and met at a building nearby so we could have a good group going. It was a very hot day, and we all wore white to show our solidarity for immigrants.
I have to say some people got very creative with their posters! It was nice to voice my freedom of speech and march along with my friends. Afterwards, we grew very hungry and headed to Big Star for some tacos. Lol. I headed home because I was exhausted, but later met up with some friends in Wrigelyville. That’s what happens in a summer day in Chicago. You can end up all over the place…
