I...It's the hardest thing to do, isn't it? It never gets easier but intense feelings of all kinds are what make us feel alive. This is a huge transition but you will only be made stronger for going through it. I totally agree with what Betsy's said!<br /><br />Welcome to the other side of the pond!! And remember that you're not alone. Welcome to a great adventure!!!<br /><br />xoxo<br />SelenaSelenaThePlaceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05327822798016315005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2284835814640563033.post-38848902030535524162012-10-03T17:07:01.595+01:002012-10-03T17:07:01.595+01:00I really thought I posted this comment earlier, bu...I really thought I posted this comment earlier, but then I went back and couldn't find it, so here goes:<br /><br />being an expat is all about feeling contradictions.<br /><br />you'll be excited and sad at the same time. you'll be homesick and happy at the same time. you'll love your new life and miss your new life - all at the same time.<br /><br />and not only is that okay... but it's totally normal. and, in time, you'll start to feel slightly less schizophrenic, I promise! but let yourself have all of those feelings while they're happening, because otherwise they'll be impossible to process.<br /><br />and don't worry about getting good at goodbyes. it won't happen. that's a good thing!<br /><br />so many happy thoughts being sent your way!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953626122327472245noreply@blogger.com
