1. You slowly become a cultural ghost. You don’t fully belong where you came from anymore, but you are never quite from where you are either. You start feeling like a foreigner everywhere. 2. On your worst days, you crave comfort. And then you realise you have to be strong by yourself. 3. You start grieving people who are still alive, just impossibly far away. 4. Making new friends as an adult is harder than anyone admits. 5. You can feel deeply lonely, even in crowded rooms. 6. You miss the moments that matter most. Birthdays, weddings, heartbreaks, milestones. You watch them through a screen instead of being there. This is the part of moving abroad that no one really prepares you for. The strength it builds in you without you even noticing.
