It's exactly 6 months when I decided to move to a strange place away from my comfort zone. Leaving my love ones.. my friends.. my place for my career growth was the hardest decision I made.
I remember my first day to this place.. I stayed in a hotel.. find a place for rent.. buy all things that I need - that was my life here started.
My life was miserable at first ... no family & friends...different language... and just found my self in tears. I was longing for my life I used to be in my old place and worst it was my first time to be separated with my boyfriend.
Honestly, I didn't notice how days.. months passed.. It seemed like my life here is all about work and nothing else - and I felt like my life is still with my old place.
Luckily and thankful that I have a happy career here. So no regrets of choosing this over my old job. This helps me to stay my life here despite of my emotional struggles.
Now, I am beginning to build new life here and beginning to establish good relationship with the community - and I'm quite doing well lately!
Bur still... I felt that this is all temporary.. I want to go home and live my life there someday!!
Moving on is indeed a life struggle!! but sometimes we have to do it to measure our strength and limitations.
Good day!

Actually it took 3 months for me to decide to move in here.. But life it's like that ..I have to do it also for my growth.. I have to be brave and be responsible of any consequences of my decision to move in here.

I did actually change many working places where i had no friends, not alot of relationships, and separated from outside since everyday going to work, back, wake up going to work. I don't need a lot of friends only need good friends. This new trip I am gonna make it alone again in a place far my house, but will be preparing good first before going since it's time to travel longer time.

Yes I should be happy because I'm so blessed to have this kind of job. I know I will eventually adopt this new place.
