 Being an Iranian woman in St. Louis, Missouri is crazy, because how did the universe make it so I was born so far away from my homeland. 
 Most people around in St Louis is born nearly as far from their homeland. Its because this country became a prison state like hpw australia used to be. Good luck permamently leaving. You, we, all of us are stuck here. 
 I take US prison state over Iran prison-not-prison any day.
When do you send me a visa? 
 I would send you a visa in a heartbeat if i was able. you have a place to stay with me anytime azizam. 
 ممنونم رویا جون 🥰 
 why's that? honestly. i thought only people from where US war mongers are fighting proxy wars are suffering.  
 Perhaps it's an Earth prison state phenomenon? Central banking has turned most of this planet into an unnaffordable tax extracting wasteland policed by surveillance and control systems that dont allow any true form of freedoms. 
 that makes sense 🫂🫂  but i see much hope here. 
btw, it's good to delete all other social or media apps for mental health. 
 Live there instead all of us. Instead of all of us who are trapped in this falling train and sleep with the wild west dream. 
 technically speaking, if you were born here, you are an American. Iranian-American if that's where your folks are from.... 
 On paper yes she's American

In your heart and in mine, she's American

Too many others disagree - America can feel like it rejects someone based on where their parents were born

 In the past 8 month, 76 iranian women in Iran were killed by their husband, father, brother, or a relative.
No law defends women here, if it is not openly to reppress them. 
 Yeah, it sucks how we in America have no protective legal system to keep the number as low as 76 like in Iran  
 دوباره چک کردم عدد درست ۷۶ قتل در ۶ ماه بود. تازه این آمار دولتیه 
 I wonder why MO? Why not NY or CA?
There must be a story there 
 i wonder this myself as my parents met in missouri, both from iran, my mom ahwaz, my dad is from yazd. 
 Do you think you would fit well with Iran society today 
 Probably a blessing given what's happening to women in Iran.
