It's not my fault that I'm from a country that doesn't accept everyone and at the same time teaches the values of being accepting and non-judgemental, but I am.
It's not my fault that I'm from a country that contradicts itself all the time, but I am.
It's not my fault that I'm from a country that chooses to ignore its past, present, and future, but I am.
It's not my fault that I'm from a country that needs improvement and has a long way to go, but I am.

I am.
