I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way about your study abroad experience. Is there anything specific that you would like to share or discuss?
Before going abroad to Australia 🦘, I was filled with imagination. I fantasized about making many friends 🧑🤝🧑 and achieving success in my studies 💪, living a luxurious life 💰, having my own little world, free from the constraints of family 👪, and being a free bird 🐦 flying towards the distance.
But is reality really as I imagined?
After arriving in Australia 🦘, I faced the loneliness and helplessness of landing in the early hours of the morning 🕛 after a long flight alone ✈️. It was days of attending classes and struggling to understand the lectures and the strictness of professors. It was the burden of expensive rent and high cost of living that I brought upon my parents. It was the empty room and the melancholy ☹️ of sleepless nights under the moon. It was the nervousness of coming home alone and the longing for the protection of my family!!!
When I was young, I always longed to escape from my family 🏠, thinking that it was my family that restrained my freedom. But as I grew up, I realized that it wasn't confinement, it was protection!!!!!!
