[@meganmicha_]

Words cannot genuinely express how comforting your videos are. Instead of how most KZbinrs show all the good parts, you show both the good and bad which just makes me feel less alone.

[@oxanadc]

truly like we need more realness on the internet that is why I continue to do my KZbin content because I am a mess but the thing is it just me and being an adult has made me more chaotic, but hey im trying my best and always staying authentic to who I am I truly want to make ppl feel less alone, that days are not suppose to be perfect and that's okay

[@anusen6481]

Truly !!! It’s like I am a video call with my bestie 😭😭🤚🏻 Linda vlogs are so comforting I hope she realise this that people love love her vlogs 🫶🏻🫶🏻✨✨

[@oxanadc]

reminder to also give yourself some credit ❤ you have chosen to be uncomfortable to become closer to who you want to be and if you need some inspo I have some videos about finding your self and loving yourself whatever stage in life you are at

[@IshitaM16]

[@babygirl81069]

“While I am on this hunt to where to call home next, in the meantime, I’ve been trying to make a home in myself.” This line is so poetic and beautiful ❤

[@michelle6]

[@gastronomee_]

Linda, there’s something so beautiful about the way that you storytell and share your thoughts. It’s ethereal. I’m a fellow young creator in my 20s - just quit school and work to do what I love through this platform - and creators like you inspire me. ❤

[@babygirl81069]

I wish you the best of luck in your journey! ❤

[@kingcharizardakaCX]

Mother Sun has so much wisdom that I wish more people told eachother. It’s so refreshing ❤

[@oxanadc]

mother wisdom is truly next lvl my own mom is such an inspiration for my own KZbin videos where I share motivational tips and navigating ones very unique path

[@thindarella]

I moved from Germany to Finland by myself when I was in my early twenties as well. Stayed there for 5 years, moved back home and from there to London. Now I’m back in Germany but open for moving abroad if the chance would come. I’ve learned so much about myself during my years abroad and had so many amazing experiences that changed me to the person I am right now. I hope you have the most amazing time Linda and cherish every second of it! “You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.” 💕

[@babygirl81069]

I’m glad you had a great experience in Germany. I’m so happy for you 😊

[@findingmyspitfire2441]

This is for anyone that might be having a hard time with change. I spent a good chunk of my life living in a place that I hated. I was locked away in my room when I wasn’t at work. Picked up a second job to stay away as much as possible and in the process changing my mind into thinking “I’m doing this for extra money” knowing full well the second job hardly made a difference in income. When I left that place, the first night in our new home, just me and the person I love most in this world, I was finally at peace. I was home and have forever felt loved and safe and happy since that first night. Sometimes I still feel like I don’t deserve this or that maybe I don’t belong, mostly because I’m so grateful to be in the place I am now. Home isn’t where you grew up, maybe not even biological family. Home is where you belong and feel a sense of peace

[@oxanadc]

exactly the aim should always be to find that place that bring us that sense of peace 😄 I am currently studying abroad and while it's been hard it is through my KZbin channel that I have been able to find a form of expression and it has brought me so much peace into my life I hope to some day be able to help lot of people with their healing journey ❤

[@stephanie4548]

wow this comment is so touching and made me cry 🥲 i really struggle with change so this is such a refreshing perspective to hear ❤

[@oxanadc]

as I love reminding others with my yt video change is the only constant thing in life, and it is only when we go out of our comfort zone that we grow

[@minfires7572]

This is so beautiful and I'm so happy for you. It's so inspiring to see that things eventually do get better. I moved halfway across the world at 13 years old with my family. I'm now almost 21 and I still live here. My heart has never felt at home here in this country even tho it's been years since I've moved. I want more than anything to go move again and go somewhere new but I have no idea where and how...

[@oxanadc]

in my childhood I have moved around so much that what I've come to realise is that home is wherever my family is, no matter what I have been studying abroad for awhile now on my own, and while I love it is when I go back to my family during holidays that I truly feel at home, I love documenting my whole experience on my KZbin channel the ups and Downs of adulting and being alone, but even if I have found that I've come to learn so much about me, my home will always be where my love ones are no matter what@@minfires7572

[@anshikasharma6104]

DUDE I LITERALLY LOVE YOU, I WISH YOU THE BEST FOR YOUR JOURNEY AHEAD !!

[@Monoiru]

I moved to NY from Norway when I was 24 for the first time on my own, last year of University (choice was actually between NYC and Singapore lol). It was the best experience of my life. It was the year where I truly got to know myself, and grown mentally. I went from a young adult to adult. I understand going into something unknown but it is also how YOU make it. Enjoy every moment with yourself and meeting new people, you will grow a ton! PS: you have a better view from your apartment/room than I did xD

[@oxanadc]

exactly I could not agree more as someone who moved to study abroad the first months where overwhelming trying to navigate my 20s alone for the first time, but something that has helped me a lot is sharing my adulting journey on my KZbin channel and sharing my abroad experiences I have grown so much personally that even though it is hard I love learning more about myself 😄

[@Sarah_Mojo]

I have been struggling with loneliness away from home in university this vlog hit hard your moms speech made me tear up. Thank you for everything you do and I wish you the best on this new chapter in your life❤️❤️

[@sssssstoronto]

I cried when I saw your parents face at the airport. It reminds me myself when I was 24. I moved to Canada started living myself. I will never forget my mom’s face when I said bye. She was waving until I couldn’t see her. only I can see my family once or twice every 1-2 years. Still miss them so much but now I married and kids in Canada.

[@leanguyen3091]

As a student who’s moving out from her hometown for the first time at the end of the year : your video is so comforting

[@christineambrose]

Your sentiments about moving and continuing your studies abroad in Singapore really, really remind me of what I did when was in college and studied abroad in London. I had lived in a suburban town near LA all my life, grew up here, made all of my memories, and had my village here, but I knew I needed a change and applied to the program. Before I left and during my first week in London, I was terrified, but kept an open mind to everything. After my first week of realizing, "oh wow, this is a brand new chapter of my life and I get to whatever I want with it," I embraced the journey even more and honestly found a renewed sense of self in London. It's been 10 years since I was there and I still have not fully recovered from having left London, because I fell in love with it and the person I became while I was there... I think about my time there everyday and I try to visit back every 2-3 years, but honestly, it was one of the most terrifying, exhilarating, and joyful experiences of my life. Having been so horrible at adapting to change and going with the flow in my younger years, moving away from home and throwing myself into a new space to build a new base for myself was the best thing I ever did and I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU as you continue on this new chapter. You may be homesick at times, but I promise you, it is going to be for the better in the long run. Also, your way of describing being homesick for somewhere in the beginning reminded me of this quote from one of my fave movies (Garden State): "You'll see one day when you move out it just sort of happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. Maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't ever have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for your kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I don't know, but I miss the idea of it, you know. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people that miss the same imaginary place." sorry for the essay, but I've been following you for a couple years now and I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing you learn, thrive, and grow! this vlog just really hit home for me :') sending all the love to you from sunny LA (although I wish it was from London ahha)

[@willowshine765]

I can't believe it's been three years since I first found your channel! It feels like you're my best friend, the one person I can relate to. I've watched you go through your ups and downs throughout college, and I'm so eternally grateful that you are here and living and happy and sharing what you believe and what you're learning as you grow. I'm not in college yet, but I'm already nervous about moving out. Hearing you being so accepting of growing and becoming an adult is so comforting to me, but I'm so excited for when you get to go home, scream when you see Milo and mother sun again.

[@oxanadc]

while moving out is hard it is through the hardest things that we grow as someone who has moved abroad to study for uni, I have found that it has given me the opportunity to know myself better and having the opportunity to share my adulting journey on KZbin has been a blessing, I think some of my videos would be perfect to show you how wonderful the journey truly is and I would really appreciate to hear your feedback

[@tahiyaahislam4041]

Watching your videos is like a 30 mins therapy session for me. It's the best feeling in the world!

[@marccolomayt82094]

This is so emotional, I’m truly happy for you, Linda! ❤

[@oxanadc]

it almost had me crying too

[@croft4746]

The window and view is so cool wth!!!

[@homebodyzone9884]

This is exactly what I've been feeling the past year and it explains the feeling of being lost, scared, excited, and growing so well. It can be so overwhelming and I also question myself and where I'm going every day, wondering if I'm doing too little, being mad that I'm not where I want to be yet, and feeling so stressed about getting there as soon as possible. This was so comforting to me and I've watched many videos like this one, but this one is the best one I've come across yet. You portray it so well! Thank you! Sometimes we need to slow down so we can sit with ourselves and think about what we want for ourselves, and it will take courage and fear but like you say, intuition is so strong, and sometimes doing what doesn't feel the best at the moment might lead you to your happy place.

[@emily_perna]

Linda you are literally me 6 months ago. I studied abroad in Australia - a place I had wanted to go to for so long - and went there knowing nobody, so there were definitely early moments where I was pretty nervous (also an anxious introvert). It was the best time of my life, so soak it in; you're going to have an amazing experience!!

[@oxanadc]

100% agree, I've recently moved to study abroad and was very afraid but truly the experience is such a learning experience to get to know who I want to be and I have been loving sharing my journey with my youtueb vlogs to show others the enriching experiences and how one can only grow from the momemts when we feel out of our comfort zone

[@belagarcia984]

i dont usually comment on videos much but this one really spoke to me. I did a semester abroad to South Korea last year and I related to this video so much. I once saw a quote that says "people have a hard time letting go of their suffering. out of fear of the unknown, they prefer a suffering that is familiar." I think the point you spoke about, saying that sometimes the familiar sounds more comforting than the unknown is so true. I was extremely sad living in my small hometown and i had daily struggles but the thought of having struggles i would have no idea how to overcome in a new country surrounded by new people was so difficult to wrap my head around. However, South Korea ended up feeling like home to me, just like you described Singapore felt for you. I felt welcomed and happy and, well, at home. I am so thankful I took the step forward to go despite being scared. I guess all this said, I just wanted to thank you for your videos, you inspire me so much and i relate to you in so many ways. It is comforting to know we are not alone in our experiences, no matter how scary they feel.

[@oxanadc]

like I love saying on my KZbin videos change is the only thing that is constant in life and it is when we do the things we are most scare of doing that we truly discover who we want to be as a student that is studying abroad I love sharing my experience with my videos of my ups and downs of navigating adulthood (have a whole series about it) and I truly agree with what you say we are not alone never ❤

[@prettyhottie45]

Glad you're venturing out and trying new things. The world is big. Oh, and listen to your mom 👍🏼

[@oxanadc]

I love the last part of your comment mom's are truly the source of so much useful advice

[@YourGirlShaylah]

Linda makes me feel so much better. like my life isn't over, and its okay to be dramatic sometimes but to not let it consume you, and remember we are all so young and living this one life once together, we deserve to enjoy it in any ways we can.

[@nicaco20]

Linda!! I resonate with you on so many levels. I’m actually taking up masteral studies in Canada coming all the way from Southeast Asia. It’s a scary thing to leave everything and everyone you’re familiar with but it’s that leap of faith that allows us to experience and find out how capable we are of growing!! I’m so happy for you and hopefully I get to see you when you come back to Canada! 🤍

[@martacruz7997]

At the time i needed, this video came out. Just moved to anew country where i don't speak the language, and have no way of making friends. What I have learned is that you will come back a greater person. Don't let fear stop you from getting new expiriences! Keep going!

[@elizabeththibodeaux9174]

I genuinely don’t know how I ever came across your videos. I’m a 40 year old living in Louisiana, USA. I LOVE to live vicariously through all of your adventures! Cheering you on from afar. ❤❤❤

[@m_us.jp.]

I love how you know yourself and also try more to explore your "new" version. Your video literally helped me when I was on anorexia recovery journey, and also you gave me perspective that the body isn't my identity. Now I'm also on my self explore journey. I love you Linda so so much

[@oxanadc]

your body is only trying to take care of you it is the vessel that contains your beautiful soul, and that is separate from how it looks and the shape of your body I do some KZbin videos where I share some motivational advice and help others through their healing journey which I think you would love and the messages will really resonate with you I would love to hear your feedback ❤ and wishing you the best on your journey here if you need anything

[@mellooobruhhh9281]

Hiii Linda ❤️ I have been following you for around 2 years and we’re at the same age. I found that we have a lot of similarities such as being big introvert person, have only 1-2 friends, difficult to find someone who understand and struggle to understand myself as well sometimes, having difficulty to fit in, often get lost in thoughts and I also struggled with low self-esteem & eating disorder in my early teenage age (now I finally have healed) and lastly my dog’s name is Milo!!!🐶 thank you so much for making me know that I’m not alone and I have learned a lot from your words. Now my mental health have healed and I’m so much happier with myself and my life. And watching this video make me realize I’m feeling the same way as you again (the part that you talk about énouement) because I’m about to graduate soon and I’m scared of the change because right now I’m happy living alone and enjoy my college life but after I graduate I must move back to my hometown again and start a new chapter of my life. So it’s a weird feeling that I have been feeling lately that a certain period of my life is about to end and it’s the certain period that I’m really happy. Thank you so much for making this video and reminding me that feeling confused and stuck is normal and okay in early adulting 🤍 So please don’t forget that you’re not alone too Linda 😊 we got this girl! I’m rooting for you and will continue growing with you by watching your videos. 💖

[@oxanadc]

first of all congrats on graduating soon and second, remember how you felt when you started your other journeys, how while they were hard and uncomfortable at first, they are probably the ones that have helped you discover yourself most as someone who is also living alone because I am studying abroad, this is precisely what has happened, and this is why I love sharing my own experience on my KZbin channel to show others how healing travelling and changing one's environment is I've made video recently about feeling lost that I think will really resonate with you, and I would love to hear your feedback wishing you the best in your new life chapter ❤

[@friskyyfeline]

thank you so much for always being so raw, SO PROUD OF HOW FAR YOU’VE COME!!!!! best of luck on this newest adventure💖

[@Emma_Runge]

This gives me so much hope. I’ve been going through a very isolated point of my life right now & you are helping me to realize that I will make it out of this and that I’m going to meet my people. Don’t stop making these videos, you are doing great. 💘

[@jaysauer834]

Good luck in this new chapter! Going to miss your fam but am so excited to see new sides of you on this journey.

[@pinkpanter1998]

Thank you, Linda❤. You seem so kind and your videos are so comforting, the mix between what's happening and your voice over. And so aligned with feeling lost regularly.. sadly, but not sad at the same time. Overwhelming yes, but like you said it's exploring. Exploring can be frightening and amazing at the same time.

[@HalfTempted]

Linda - I’ve enjoyed your content for some time now and I wanted to thank you! As a fellow worrying and a fellow not-so-conventional life choices, I want to tell you that whatever you do, it will be amazing! That feeling you described about starting new adventures, that flutter, that will always guide you in the right direction. That worrying is sometimes intuition and it’s good! It will become such a strength as you get older - a virtue. Enjoy this time in your life and focus on you.

[@NK-vs3je]

I’m 2 months into a breakup with someone whom I thought was the one. I’m turning 25 in a few months… and I’m just not sure what my next steps are. I guess it’s simply to heal now… but it’s hard to overcome the set back after being so excited to share a life and start a family with someone. Now… I’m letting the gym consume me and trying to meet new people. One step at a time. God has me… and watching this video was healing and made me cry… it’s so overwhelming sometimes. I give my worries to God

[@Sleepycat.14]

I absolutely love how you give every single vlog of yours such deep meanings. Like I remember clicking onto one of your vlogs thinking it would be a typical day in life sort of vlog but then ended up finishing the video with a beautiful, comforting and pure therapy session. Ilysm Linda ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@oxanadc]

this is me everytime, another reason why I love doing KZbin vlogs about helping other become the best version of themselves 😄 I want them to always be there for whenever someone needs it I think you will really enjoy them ☺ and I would love your support 😄❤

[@clairejones8295]

I love that huge window, how great that it wraps around and opens up your space. Makes it feel so much more open to the outside. Good for you Linda, what an enriching experience you are going to have :)

[@anchita.kumari.]

i am so glad this video popped up on my feed today, you have no idea how comforting it felt to listen to someone who is going through/ gone through similar range of emotions that i have / i do. you talking about so many different things made me feel like i am not alone and i am normal. lots of love to you! just subscribed.🤍🤍

[@sarahwilliams2156]

singapore looks so good on you ❤️ you look glowing. i hope you have a happy and safe journey back to yourself!!!

[@taylorsavage8435]

I honestly needed this!!!! I just recently moved to Los Angeles from the East Coast by myself, and I've been freaking out about the unknown. Yet here you are motivating me, and I see that everything is going to be ok! Thank you Linda!

[@annthedreamer]

Girl you just mentioned everything I feel... As I should became an adult I feel more and more insecure about everything... Thank you for this video, it just made me feel less alone❤❤❤

[@SandraFernandez-se6cw]

I moved 3 weeks ago from switzerland to spain. So this was really inspiring to watch ❤ nice to see I am not the only one feeling this way ☺️

[@christineliu951]

"You are not lost, you just finally have a chance to explore yourself without being tied to a specific outcome." I love you so much, I feel so seen. thank you🥲

[@Ushio-is7mm]

Good Luck and Loads of Love to you for your new journey, Linda 💞

[@kirakammerer6899]

I love Mother Sun, she's amazing! Linda, how lucky are you to have such a precious, wise mother!

[@deylynnmoore]

I LOVED your mother’s advice. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@Chopperchicjones]

I’m so proud of you Linda!!!! I started watching your videos during Covid and now I worry about your mom but I hope she visits lots!!!

[@nguyennori5534]

you and your videos help me find peace. I realize that everything im going through is okay. and how you see life is amazing ive been watching your videos since the begining and you helped so much with my relationship with my body food exercise and mental health im so thankful for you and im so lucky i found you

[@aKm057]

I love that my younger ones are thinking this way.. Linda's words feel like a warm hug. Such a sweet girlie.

[@maddinelson5349]

I studied abroad in Singpore and can totally relate to feeling grounded and at peace there. It is such a lovely city with so many familiar comforts that remind me of growing up in North America, but with a sense of worldliness I have not felt anywhere else. Have the best time!!

[@user-dr2qj8nm7e]

15:58 Mother Sun’s words are really healing my heart as well! Thanks for your comforting video which always encourage me. Love from Taiwan❤

[@sunandini9670]

i can see the genuine happiness radiate within you, happy to see this

[@thailynoum]

I recently moved from the US to Belgium and it has been a rollercoaster of emotions too. This video was truly so comforting and relatable. Thank you for sharing these vulnerable moments and being so transparent

[@juliepersaud3273]

Im moving away from the town I've lived in my whole life, to live in a completely new city 1000 miles away at the end of this month. This video articulated all that I've been feeling for the past couple months, thank you so much ❤

[@Rania-pt9jv]

You always say the right things in the right words in the right time! haha...I hope that you will keep living as passionately as you do, making the most out of every little moment, living deeply and experiencing every emotion fully...a life that's lived with such intensity and awareness is a life that's been loved! May you find love in everything wherever you go!

[@oxanadc]

this is such a wholesome message wishing you the best too

[@user-yu1gc6lb5n]

Wishing you all the best dear Linda on your new journey❤❤❤❤

[@rvolley2591]

I moved from central Europe to South Australia a week ago. I will stay for 4 months; even if I am absolutely excited, I had no idea how much I needed exactly that video. Thank you so much for sharing this. Its always so nice to see that I am not the only one with these thoughts❤

[@unfortunatelyyy]

i'm loving these new style of videos, you genuinely seem such like a wonderfully honest person with such a beautiful soul, and i really really think that its so important that you don't put this pressure on yourself to present a perfect version of your life on youtube, seeing your worries and struggles truly has helped me grow and i hope it has helped you grow too. take your time linda, if you need to take a break or if life gets hard and you can't always be for us, we will wait for you. you look a lot happier and more at peace recently, and it has been such a journey watching you grow over time :) good luck with everything!!!

[@oxanadc]

I agree with this, she seems to be glowing now to be more intune with herself and her realness is something that I love about her videos, and it is exactly this realness that I want to share with my own KZbin vlogs, to show others that my life is a mess and that is so normal and we often forget that it is not perfect like other KZbinrs seem to love sharing

[@taylor_elainee]

Linda your videos are so so so well done and so intuitive. You deserve all the success in the world!! Good luck abroad!

[@jamiemccarthy8121]

You’re videos are so inspiring and real! And I'm so excited for you and your new chapter!!💕

[@user-ei4gd5wj1p]

Towards the end when you mentioned how sentimental you were I was like "OMG THAT'S WHY!" Because every time I watch through your videos, whether you're just talking through something or showing a us a view of something it just feels really heartfelt and almost nostalgic (even though I don't have any personal memories that link to that view). I love your editing style

[@jessicasturnick912]

Linda, beyond inspiring! Your soul is truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing these glimpses of your life with the world, your testimony is a good one.

[@alluntoldwords5206]

Your videos alway bring me SO MUCH comfort!!!! but this one was just another level of inspiration and excitement for all the beauty that is still ahead 😭 thank you so much

I love this so much! I feel like emotionally and our thought processes are very similar. I just started college at a community college near my house so I still live at home. It’s my second semester and I’m spending 4 semesters there and it’s like nice that I get to like take life slower and not move out right away but I also feel behind in life and it’s scary and I don’t know what to do next. ❤❤I love you Linda thank you for always being you and making me feel comfortable with not knowing what to do with life

[@oxanadc]

you are never behind on life, because your life path so unique and its okay to feel unsure about the future, but realise that it only means that you can choose so much and the possibilities r endless I have also recently started college and im studying abroad and I love sharing my experience with my KZbin vlogs which I think you will love

[@Vanessaavaayoub]

Your videos always make me cry they’re so beautiful, thank you 💛

[@elizabethhiggins5584]

Your videos always bring comfort and inspiration to me. Thank you for always being honest and open with us. I remember watching your Singapore solo trip last year and absolutely loved it; it even inspired me to want to travel there one day. Congratulations on the move and just making such a big change. I’m proud of you and am beyond thankful for your content. ❤

Linda literally summarized my adult crisis rn. " I feel old, I feel young, I feel like I have time but running out of it all at the same time.

[@mybaileybuddy]

I can’t remember how many years I have been watching your channel. I’m so glad you chose Sg! It’s pretty safe here and I think you gonna love the food! Hope to bump into you on the streets someday😊

[@Theaslnc]

We are so similar because I love being alone as 22 years old and spending time with my family also I dont have any friend or boyfriend I live a routine life but watching you makes me feel at ease this is normal too I love you and I hope for us to have the best experiences of life 💖✨🦋

If you want sweet apples in Singapore, you may consider going market (wet market or morning market) fruit stalls and find “rose apple” they are darker in red and they are a lot sweeter!

[@llaralopes]

dude your smile is just SO beautiful

[@kyleethepanda]

You put it all into words... as much as I love my home but also would never want to move back, it still holds a space in my heart

[@joliafayeababon8908]

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, Linda. This video came to me in a right time since I am in a dilemma of deciding where I will go for medschool whether I stay at my home town or venture out in a new city. I hesitated at the latter because the familiarity and comfort defines the former. But I know myself that I love to venture out and see new beginnings. I won't hesitate anymore 🥺

[@oxanadc]

you go and chase your dreams if you want the familiarity that is also perfectly fine, if you want to go out of your comfort zone that is fine too

[@RobertOlivx]

I love watching your videos. It's been a while since I didn't watch, but this one got me feeling so incredibly awesome about myself, and the plans I have within myself. Thank you so much for inspiring me.

[@phoebetang3884]

dear linda, you have NO idea how PERFECTLY timed this video is. i am from Singapore! 22 this year. and currently on an exchange in the netherlands. (which is sO ANNOYING TOO cos omg you would have left by the time i come back :(((( ) but gosh, eVERY sINGLE liNe you said resonated SO MUCH with me. The fear, the excitement that comes with change. The knowledge that this could be completely life altering or just another page in my life i look back fondly on in hindsight. I've been struggling with feeling at home here, wondering what home is supposed to be. It's so hard to bridge the cultural barriers sometimes to connect deeply with people from a completely different culture, a different continent than I am. I made a really good friend here. But because he's the oNLY good friend I have here, it feels lonely sometimes, and I realise how dependent I become on him for meaningful conversations. Solo trips! They are SO FUN and sO therapeutic. But when I'm gone for too long on my own, I feel like an unanchored ship, excited to traverse the unknowns, but sometimes wishing there's something to ground me to a place. I'm constantly feeling contradictory emotions. Trying to process them deeply, but also living in the moment. And sometimes running away from them altogether. Life has been hard, really REALLY hard. But I've also never learnt and grown so much in such a short time. I've learnt to cook my first meal here, experienced snow for the first time, gone on my first solo trip, lived on my own for the first time, went to the gym for the first time. The growing curve was sTEEP. But there's also such a long cavern of emptiness and loneliness sometimes that threatens to swallow you whole. And sometimes you wake up longing for the comfort and familiarity of home, only to be rudely awaken from that dream, to realise you're 14 hours flight away from home, and today is yet another day you have to play this happy social butterfly character you invented so people will like you and not think you're rude and unfriendly. Going on exchange is TRULY a process of painful life-altering growth. I haven't journalled as much as I should have because I've been so afraid of dealing with these difficult emotions. WORSE, to come face to face with them and realise i don't know how the heck to "deal" with them. But thank you, for this video, for saying the exact words I've been feeling but yet to pinpoint and verbalise. It felt like looking in a mirror... end of rant HAHA hope you enjoy the rest of your exchange in Singapore!!

[@lrb.2770]

Sending you all the love in the world

[@sarahs_4328]

You have such a way with words and say the things that so many of us (no matter our age) are thinking/feeling. Congrats on your new "home" and enjoy your program.
