From people who came through it
“Cuando llegas a un país nuevo, todo es extraño. El idioma, las costumbres, la comida. Te sientes perdido. Yo también. Pero poco a poco, vas encontrando tu sitio. No te compares con los demás. Cada uno tiene su ritmo. Busca ayuda. Habla con gente que haya pasado por lo mismo. Y no te olvides de tu idioma, de tus raíces. Eso te mantendrá entero.”
Gavin K. · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“I know the first year is rough. You're going to feel like a stranger in your own life. That's normal. Keep calling home. Find one small thing that feels like yours, a park, a coffee shop, a neighbour who says hello. Don't wait for the loneliness to lift on its own. I waited too long. And if you can, find people from back home. They'll get it without you having to explain. It gets easier, but it doesn't happen by itself. You have to make it happen. Even when you're tired.”
stuartpapa51 · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't. It made everythign harder. Honestly, getting out for ten minutes a day helped more than I thought it would. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
