as someone who stayed back after high school and is now going to go abroad for my masters, this really hit me. the gulf dream now feels like a pit stop that has evolved into a little cafe where jokes are told, gossip exchanged, and meals shared - and not just a trampoline into the next phase. but i still have to say that it’s not a cafe i enjoy either
'On the flip side, I beat the odds the Gulf dream had set for me. I was still here.' - powerful. so, so powerful
Well written ..... All we want in life is a little space to store memories for you......
