제가 투표했어요

제가 투표했어요.

I got all emotional about it, too, realizing this morning as I waited in a longer-than-usual line that a hundred years ago it wouldn’t have been an option for someone like me. I was absorbed in these thoughts when I caught sight of 장경, someone I first knew back in Korea. I was surprised not only to see her (I didn’t know she was still in the area), but to see her voting, as I didn’t know she’d become a citizen. But it’s been ten years now since she came with her husband, and I knew by our warm conversation that we were both thinking of a past that no longer existed, either for her or for me.
