life is good

Immigrating to another country often means leaving behind your family, friends, belongings, and the familiarity of your hometown. In those first months abroad, you might find your memory creation slowing down, your mind constantly replaying old memories, stirring up mixed feelings of joy and longing. If you’re planning to leave your home, focus on creating as many happy memories as you can now: they’ll become your emotional anchor in a foreign land, carrying you through the bittersweet moments of starting anew.
