Fourth of July bears a new significance for me now.
Before, it was the independence day of the Philippines, my birth country. Independence from America. Now, as an American, it is independence from Britain. (or England)
I could possibly spend more time agonizing as to where my allegiance lies, or what the past means, but I won't. Independence, freedom, is a basic human right. I celebrate independence day for all free people and those who are still struggling to realize it.
