It's been like 4 years ever since I came to the states to study. I'm finishing up with my Bachelor's degree and I am literally so thankful for everything that's going on in my life rn. I remember on the 1st year I never had anyone whom I would actually call as "friends", I was always homesick, I hated being at school because I never felt comfortable being there. I felt completely like an outcast every single day and I lost track of how many times the thought of wanting to give everything up came to my mind. But I'm happy I came this far and that I didn't give up.
I used to spend hours on this website reading different people's stories and convince myself that I'm not the only one struggling here, haha
It's been years since so I decided to come back and this time, I wanted to write something.
Whatever that's putting you through struggles, trust me, It's not permanent. You'll get over it in no time. Believe in yourself and shift your focus towards something that you have control over. You're capable of doing anything if you really wanted to :) Don't stress yourself so much just because there is something that isn't working out. Everything has a solution and you'll find it.
I'm graduating in a year and I'm so thankful to start working at my dream company and move to a new place with my amazing lover whom I'd die to spend the rest of my life with. And I really can't wait to spoil the shit out of my mom for always being there for me and having my back through thick and thin. If I gave up back things would be totally different by now. So I'm thankful. and It was all worth it.
I hope reading this made you feel a bit better at least. Tomorrow is a new day. Make that day count. :)
