It took 20

It has been 20 days since I left the US.  I am feeling it now that my life is really shifting. My once strong bonds are ripping apart from the inside.  It is sad and challenging but I knew that this is what needed to happen. I was hoping for it not to hurt this much. But I cannot cling to a old shell, I must molt like a new fledgling and soar on my own.  I wouldn't have taken this opportunity if I didn't have such a supportive network around me. Thank you everyone.
