dear syria

Dear Syria,
after seeing videos and reading blogs of your daily struggle, to live, i would like to say i look up to you
The lfie in Homs sounds miserable. I would never feel safe. I would be terrified constantly, and never know what to do. How you live there amazes me. I am amazed by you, and have complete respect for you, especially day to day you are fighting for your own freedoms via facebook and twitter. If i were to live in your shoes, i would be trying to escape what you have to live through every single of your life.. If it were me stuck in a room where people were being shot right outside the door, and tanks were flying by along with contact from the world being revoked, im pretty sure i would either die, or try to run. I, as an american, have taken my freedom for granted, and for the most part havent appreciated like i should have. But after seeing/ hearing about those around the world who cant be as fortunate as those who live here, i feel like i should be appreciating it alot more. someone, from syria would probably love to live here with these freedoms. And here i, kayla, am thinking of getting out of the u.s. If i were to live in Syria, it would be a daily struggle, and i Probably wouldnt make it out. I would go crazy. There would be NO peace of mind for me.
