alternate reality

i dont go back to pakistan in the summers. i find an internship in california. i dont visit the other side of the continent in summers or winter break. i stay in cal all of next year. i find a guy in california. i get married and get settled on this side of the world. i get an extension on the fulbright to stay for another year (or find a loophole that gets me out of going to pak after i finish uni).

how easy all that would be. the first step almost happened. the others still could. i am at a crossroads. i am at the periphery of my old world. at the edge of the new one. one small push and i can completely slip into this new life and this new world. the question is do i want to?
