It's been almost 3 years since I moved to Japan.
I was halfway through my 26th year then and now I'm halfway to my 30th year.
Wow! Time flies fast indeed.
But it's not all sorrow and sadness. Living abroad is also freeing. I didn't have to live up to anyone's expectations. I'm free from my own culture. I'm free to discover who I really am and who I wanted to be. It's when I live abroad that I became honest with myself. I didn't realize how I needed to be away from home to feel at home with myself. Living abroad is not only discovering a new place but also a journey to self-discovery.
