In the winter of 2019, I quit my job, subleased my apartment, emptied my bank account, and bought a one-way ticket to South Korea. Feeling stuck and unsatiated (after a breakup, a bedbug infestation, and my grandfather’s death), I had been quietly planning the move for months. I went on late-night Skype interviews, earned my ESL teaching certification, learned Hangul (kind of), sent off my documents (so many documents), and signed a one-year contract to teach English in Korea’s second-largest city.
You’re a really terrific writer. It’s refreshing to hear someone be so honest and raw. I’m sorry to hear of what you endured but it’s good you hear yourself and your needs and that sometimes we have to make difficult choices that don’t fit the script. You will find your way.
I loved reading this! You’re one of the best writers I’ve ever worked with! Good for you for following your heart and being true to yourself! You inspire me.
