Status Updates From We Have Always Been Here

“...despite having grand dreams of becoming a writer and travelling the world, my future consisted of being a good Pakistani wife. I was destined for a life of servitude, just like Nasir’s mother, my mother, and my mother’s mother, who all muted their ambitions and defining traits to be pious sisters, getting lost in a sea of burka-clad wives.“

Nooooo

“I wondered how long it would take me to forget the language I dreamt in, stripping the proof of otherness from my speech.”

oops accidentally starting another memoir :/
