life as it is: my trip back to my country

It took me basically 18 yeas to go back to my native country Dominican Republic, for years i thought of going back, wondering if it would look the same or if i would remember anyone or any place, but as i figure i didn't. I came to america when i was 8 years old and never went back... I did not had any reason to my whole entire family were here so i never look back and just did my life in New York and Florida.. this places became my home. Can't say i miss back home because i didn't but i did had curiosity. The reason why i went back was basically to see my new husband when i first started talking to him i thought of the idea on visit and when i got there everything looked so weird different and i was scare it was something new to me..the streets, cars, houses, people looked different. i have to say did enjoy myself very much. The people in my country are very happy people is like they live for the day, very humble and friendly. Like any place saw sadness, confusion, hunger, homeless and it just broke my heart. I saw kids working pretty much my children age, and when i saw that i just thought how naive and arrogant we are, we just live in our own lil world and their much more than us our live, we would be very selfish if we ever complaint of anything we got it good.
