I can't imagine taking that leap and venturing into a country without immediate family at such a young age and with everything - remnants of the GFC in the US especially would've impacted job hunting. I'm really glad to hear you're happy now, good on you for taking that leap!Jazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234168594031112363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-81900239891801972702014-06-22T18:47:13.766-04:002014-06-22T18:47:13.766-04:00Oh, Alexa, I am so glad you wrote this post.

It's so cool to hear about how much you've grown and how far you have come! It's brave to leave home and to take that leap into the unknown. Seriously, it is inspiring. <br /><br />Also, yay Patrick Rothfuss quote.April (BooksandWine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15268544465552896599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-74727981709006826012014-06-22T07:20:37.602-04:002014-06-22T07:20:37.602-04:00How very brave of you.

It's really inspirational to see and for now, I'm just going to sit here and admire you :)Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-70207835846389939252014-06-21T17:18:22.813-04:002014-06-21T17:18:22.813-04:00This is such an inspirational story.

And YOURS could be a book, Alexa, no lie. I love this post (and I see the other commenters do too, obviously) so much and HOW you wrote it and WHAT you wrote just captivated me. Personally, I'm so glad you moved back to USA because that means there's a greater chance that I'll meet you someday (NEXT BEA PLEASE...and come visit FL again, thanks). I'm so happy for you and I love all that you've done here, but especially loving yourself more. <br /><br />Welp, I got my inspiration for the day :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-70523704534083997332014-06-20T17:32:52.394-04:002014-06-20T17:32:52.394-04:00I love this post.

I've moved across the country twice now with my husband and that was scary enough, but to make a move like you did all on your own? Kudos. I'm so happy that you've gotten to experience so many amazing things by making the move and I hope you continue to live and love your life!

Th...AHHHH I just read this post and I got so teary. There's so much emotion in this post and I'm so happy to know you (kinda sorta). You have a lot of confidence and guts to move so far away and I'm so happy that you made everything work! YOU GO. The last part of this post was so, so powerful and true. Our experiences impact us and allow us to grow. <br /><br />Also, I'm so happy that you like the East Coast because NJ/NY is where it's at but I think I'm biased, haha.
