I was a very sociable person before I left my country and although I like where I am, I have become very quiet, an introvert. It takes a long time to build a close friendship with someone… it's not like you can make it your home so easily. Just because there are so many migrants and they all seem to be doing alright, not everyone is… especially if you are in an intercultural marriage, because there is no where you can relax. Together with M issues, it's an extremely lonely life and a tough one.


This is amazing advice!
