Here's what's crept in my mind lately. What if I hadn't left Philly? I envision a nice life in a townhouse or single family home with 2 cars and perhaps a kid in the cradle.

[Insert screeching noise disrupting this fantasy]

To me this is a fantasy. For many in NY, they would perhaps abhor this simple life but to me it's a fantasy because I can't attain it - at least not in the near future. I wonder what life would've been like back in the burbs of Philly. Would it be like how I live today? No way. So I wonder why I'm still in NY and when I'll leave. I've been here officially 8 years. I had intended to leave only after 2 years, but for some reason I remained.
