It has been almost 5 months since I am abroad. I had work and plans in my home country, but still the routine of the day and the dullness of work made me adopt the decision and go for drastic changes in my life...Going abroad, especially at not such a young age might be challenging, and the major part of this challenge is usually found in your own head...
Have I made a correct decision? I don't know and I am not sure that I will ever know. On the one hand, I am in a country where the living standards are much higher. If I cope with the task of starting my study here, I will most certainly have good perspectives for the future, etc. On the other hand, motherland is motherland...even though it makes you nervous and depressed. I mean, there are my parents, my friends (although, there are not many of them and we have never been so close for me to consider not leaving the country just because my friends are there)...
Finally, and most importantly to me, a foreigner here starts his/her life from scratch irrespective of the educational levels, experience, and similar things that does mean a thing when you confront the harsh reality. I have a specialist diploma, working experience of about 3 years, family plans, and future projections...Here I should prove my ability to achieve all that anew.
Sometimes it comes to mind that the things I go for right now are far from being the most important ones in life. Really, if you think, money is not everything, although without it everything else becomes much difficult to achieve. In other words, family is the basis...I think I am getting mature, so unexpectedly...I am thinking about having a baby with my girlfriend, but at the same time I am not quite sure that I am ready for such a huge change in my life. Probably, you are never ready until you just have to care for another human being that simply cannot care for itself and demands your protection....So, I am really not sure that what I am doing at the present time here abroad is right. At the same time, I am fine!
I mean, I have genuine interest to see how it all develops and where it all goes, what can we achieve here, and where is the finish line...The most important thing is not to forget that the real life is what happens to you during the time when you are waiting for the "real life" to start. I am fine, totally fine! Who else is fine?!...
