It was the 20th Anniversay of the demise of Imam Khomeini, perhaps a devil to many Americans, but a charismatic and undenyable figure here in this country. After working till 4AM, after a brief nap, I had to wake up at 5:40AM to attend the memorial ceremony at the Imam's shrine. We had to wait a long time after going through ridiculous security procedures and I was quite angry when we were finally able to cover the event. I thought I was getting used to feeling insulted and treated like a nuisance, but today it irritated me quite a lot. I'm beginning to realize that this is not where I should belong and from my heart, I hope I can leave this place the earliest as possible!
Back in my office, I was able to calm down and return to reality that I have no choice but to hope that I don't have to suffer so much and enjoy my life a bit more. This is the only way I can feel my raison d'etre and also maintain my mental health... I'm getting too tired that everything feels bad so maybe after getting an opportunity to rest, which I have no idea when it will be, I can feel much better about my status.
