This was so relatable. For me, I moved to Australia to study for years, went back home for a few years, now on my third year working in Korea. I loved all the time I spent at home or overseas, but I feel you! My adolescent years were away from family so I am so used to not seeing and living with them. I do feel guilty for leaving my parents back home and I am learning to talk or facetime them more, out of love, not of duty. Thankfully, my parents are super supportive and wants me to do whatever I want, which I am super grateful for. Cheers to everyone working away from home, especially now we can't just go home, like we used to. 😭
Sams story is relatable for so many people living abroad rn. I have been living in Kor for abt 4 years and Ive recently decided to go back home to take care of my parents who have been so lonely the past 8 years.. :"(((
As someone who may be moving to Korea too, this is very relatable. Moving to a country where your family is thousands of miles away seems daunting but exciting at the same time.
I moved to Asia 10 years ago. I'm now looking to move back to Europe with my husband.. I love and hate expat life. Nowhere is my home anymore.. nothing truly feels like "my place".
I really love talks like this one, very relatable. I'm aiming for that life balance too, and it's never easy >< By the way, I also hope that in the future you could also invite the other Abnormal Summit members for an episode! I truly missed seeing and hearing them talk :D
I can somewhat relate to this because when I left my home, which was Texas, for my university in D.C. Of course, this isn’t like living in another country. To me, it was similar with that. When I first arrived here and spending time with my dad for a week for “welcome to university” or something like that. I was afraid and had a moment with my dad because, I’m alone in that campus. (Luckily, I had friends who lived in the same state, so that helps little.) As time goes on, I rarely talked with my parents due to my academics and work. Lately, I was getting the blues because I missed my family and I realized that I haven’t been in touch with them so I started to call them often. One thing my mom said to me that we have to move on at one point. Everybody will leave with their lives. I “left” already because it was my choice to. I’m sure everybody will at some point, make their own decision. Even when it’s really tough.

This topic hits so close to home...9 years living in Korea and I still struggle with this.
