Nothing Has Changed--Or Has It?

I have been watching for signs of change in the past week or so--ever since I got the green card. Am I more relaxed? Maybe, but I still worry about work. Are people treating me more kindly? Maybe, but perhaps we got used to being in each other's space and working together. Do I feel more attached to the U.S. and less attached to home? Nope--I already felt at home here. This is the life I have now, the life I had for the past many years. And I just got this fantastic calling card deal, thank you very much, I call home as if it's the next neighborhood over.

Still, change has to come. Otherwise, what did I kill myself for all these years? Why was I so anxious?
