Today marks my 10 years in the US. *insert a mandatory “longest relationship of my life” joke* That’s it - that’s my cast of the day. AMA

What are the things you appreciate the most in the US? What things you have now, that you couldn't have in your country? Are you happier now? Is your family with you, if not, how does it feel to be away from your family if they can't travel to the US?

#4 my family is not here but they visit - I don’t go back though I think overall our relationship works better because we live so far away

I’ll answer #3 too - yes, happier, and no, not happier There are certain things that definitely got better, and certain things that I hard as hell, and I know I wouldn’t be going through these at home However, there is truth to the “happiness is within” philosophy. You can change your environment, and it might help a little, but you will be carrying your misery with you anywhere you go and you will have to deal with it internally

1) The freedom to express myself and publicly praise/criticize anything 2) Still having a chance at a happy life as a single woman in her mid-30s 3) I actually do like and enjoy American culture and I LOVE English as a linguist 4) There are so many diverse places, big and small, to visit within the country, and there it’s not overly hard and/or expensive to get there 5) There are people from everywhere in the world here
