mistake leaving so young to a new country where I did not know anyone. I remember wondering at night for months whether I was making the “right” decision. Back then, I wanted a clear answer, but I’ve learned that in many cases we cannot have a clear set of instructions on how to make every decision. That is why being able to adapt is so important.
