2024 I got married and moved to Africa!

Diabolical YEAR!

2024/12/29 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my move to a different country for marriage, I discovered just how transformative this experience can be. Moving to Africa meant more than just changing my address; it was about immersing myself in a vibrant culture and history deeply connected to the legendary queens of the continent. One of the most rewarding parts was maintaining connections with my family and lifelong friends while welcoming new friendships formed through shared experiences in my new home. The process of settling into a different house in a new country brought its own challenges and joys, from adapting to local customs to exploring the rich landscapes around me. Embracing this journey requires openness, patience, and a willingness to learn. Whether it’s navigating the emotional highs of wedding celebrations or the practical details of starting life anew, each step contributes to a life story enriched by diversity and growth. For anyone considering a similar path, my advice is to cherish both the familiar comforts and the exciting unknowns that come with marrying and moving abroad.

How to Be Happy in 2024 💫
I used to wait until I got that degree, moved abroad, lived on my own, had a perfect relationship, in order to feel happy. Until I almost lost everything that was important to me, and had to learn a harsh lesson about chasing happiness. I don't need to wait to live a happy life. Our brains

I moved about a month and a half ago and let me tell you... Traveling to see your partner is a whole different feeling 🤣 I can't explain it! And the small fear of flying was way overshadowed by the excitement of seeing him again 🥰 We were apart for 3 years, and even when we got married in 2
