From people who came through it

  • โ€œI 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.โ€

  • โ€œPlease 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.โ€

  • โ€œFor whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The first winter. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. xโ€

  • โ€œAbout three years ago, that was me. Visa renewal stress. That was my life. Now I sleep most nights. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.โ€
