Being away from family !
It's been precisely 405 days now staying far away from my family and seeing them only on watspp video calls, duo calls or facetime. I flew to live my dreams on the winged-feet with tears in my eyes and a big smile on my wet cheeks. Lot's of hope, expectations , happiness and love you carry from your loved ones in the heavy heart and move towards a new home , new country and a completely new world of people. Getting separated from your family happens so easily but it doesn't makes it any easier.
Yes, I am happy and enjoying every moment like a free-bird with no restriction or rules that stops me from being me.
….I get to eat anything that I want and that too anytime without thinking of what will I answer to my mom who has cooked food at home and will eat with me once I am home. I come home late and trust me no one plays the role of detective anymore. It's been a quite while that I see early morning with a cup of tea waiting at the dining table with a voice that reminds me that I am getting late for work. Sometimes, I think I was happier but then I remember I am here for a reason and that is also something that I wanted more than needed.
Living alone has it's own share of problems but it also teaches you life-lessons. When there is no mommy or daddy around, you will start realizing that you have to do everything on your own including paying bills/rent , cleaning house , cooking food , shopping and many more things that you sometime tend to forget. You are the decision-maker as you start taking small decisions from how much grocery you need to buy to which property would be best for living.
You realize soon that you won't get what you want always. You learn to adapt to situations, you learn to compromise with small double double coffee than the morning ginger tea. You kind of transform to a new person with different ways of thinking style about how to deal with the tough situations and people at the same time. Well, this all happens slowly and you keep on going with the flow in the race of getting something that you desire for at the cost of many things ….
No matter where you go wherever you live whatever you want but at the end of the day you really need someone to ask - Are you okay ?
Do you also feel the same ? If yes- Share your piece of story :|
This is true, coming out of family circle is a different kind of experience. You learn how to manage everything independently, and take care of yourself. This makes a person more strong, more active and more responsible. And if you are living and working with people of different culture, then you will experience a big difference and lot of new opportunities.
