514. Heart wants what it wants

There's a chance I might leave Kabul tomorrow for the US. I say "chance" because my past attempts have been rendered futile.

So, i was talking about my first trip in eight years, and was asked what I was most looking forward to. My instant reply was, a spanish omelette at iHOP, preferably at the one in Irving Park where I used to go at 2am.

There was a little laugh, but I maintained, the heart wants what it wants. I've managed to simplify my life enough, and have tried to cut down my requirements over the years.

Happiness doesn't have to cost a lot.
