Out of Limbo and New Life
May 4, 2017 · 1
如果说毕业之后的生活失去方向，一定要找一个方向的话，H1大概是重要的milestone吧。昨天，自己终于从这个灵薄狱中解脱了。
说来可笑，H1其实是如此random的一个东西。所有人削尖脑袋，前赴后继，冲向这个所谓的american dream，最终撞到的确是一个巨大的双色球摇奖机。这是一个total lottery。
去年在香槟，因为工作并没有忙得昏天黑地，3月到5月就完全成了刷各种移民论坛stress out的时间。最后等到所有身边的人都陆续有消息，只能灰头土脸的接受自己歹命的现实。
而到了今年，命运又跟作弄一般让USCIS取消了加急处理。于是自己骗自己说，都已经是过来人了，别担心了，然后疯狂地schedule各种meeting让自己忙得没空想这些事情，但转眼到了五月初，还是一筹莫展。
就在万念俱灰的昨天，眼睛扫到Legal Sarah的Hipchat，说“Hi Jason”，就闪电一样窜了过去。是好消息！重重地和她High Five，然后冲进办公室跟大家说，high five， high five……
终于把自己解放了。不用再懊悔当年F1没有续，也不用再为结婚安排束手束脚了。回家路上两个人一直傻笑，感叹自己峰回路转的运气，意气风发觉得自己又能做命运的主人了，转念又感叹年纪越大越意识到命运的难以掌握。
也许生活就是很paradoxical吧。but at last，free as I am，and let’s have our next milestone of our life。
Seriously, you think h1 is a milestone???? For immigrants, yes. But I don’t think we have to be immigrants. And it is ridiculous to me that you set your life goal with something completely random. Ok, you are a free man now. What is your next milestone then? Getting married? Get a house? Get a baby? Become a father? and then wait and count on days for the rest of your life???
I am still amazed by how you think this is way more important than recording our daily life together.
I wonder if you will ever write a blog again? Since seems to me, you don’t really have a milestone here.
And quite frankly, even my comment is longer than you blog.
Pick up your life, nothing is random.
