Wow your camping trip sounds so wholesome and refreshing. A wild departure from the millennial camping trips I've been on that tend to be filled with booze and fireside marshmallows 😅. Also, I just wanted to share that the start of 2025 has been pretty horrendous for a lot of people. Obviously I don't know what your news was, but just know that you are not alone in feeling completely smacked in the face by the universe in the last few months. ❤️
It was exactly that!! And thank you Kaila, for your empathy. I agree- I’ve been surrounded by people going through a lot of loss and transition as well. 😞 I just have to believe that this is all happening for our personal and collective good, and, once we get through this period, we’ll be in a much better place!
I moved abroad almost a year ago and for the first 8 months i regretted it every day. I moved for a job, but the company started going (and eventually went) towards bankruptcy a few months after I joined. I live in a country where everyone is "temporary", thus no one feels inclined to make true connections. I have felt lonely until I met my first friend at my new job. then I met a second friend and everything started to make sense again. I met a guy and got my heart broken, I even considered changing country, but I know I am in the right place because the people I met here are healing me in ways I didn't think it was possible.
I feel this so hard!! When things don't go as planned while living abroad, it's easy to go down a negative spiral and even second-guess the decision to move to that country in the first place (Been there/ still there lol) Being unhappy in a job and feeling lonely are two big factors that determine someone's experience while living away, but I'm glad that you stuck through it and have found a new job and friends that keep you grounded. Keep growing and healing 💖 Wishing you all the best on your abroad journey!
