Life Changes

What are the feelings you get when you know your life is about to shift in a major way? I’ve been sitting with that question a lot lately because, well, my life is about to change, and I’m swimming in a sea of feelings.

Come January, my time in the UK will come to an end—my visa is expiring, and I’ll have to leave this place I’ve called home for the last three years. On one hand, it’s surreal. Packing up everything I’ve built here, letting go of my job, and ticking off the bike routes I’ve been meaning to explore for so long—there’s this bittersweetness to it all.

I’ve made some big changes since moving to the UK and feel like a much different person than the one who came across the ocean years ago. But now, with this deadline looming, I’m faced with a lot of uncertainty. What’s next? Where am I going to live? What will my day-to-day look like when everything I’ve known changes?

It’s pretty uncomfortable not having all the answers yet. It’s like standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing you have to jump but not quite sure what’s at the bottom. But here’s the thing—I’ve always found that with fear comes opportunity. And while this transition feels scary and unpredictable, it’s also a chance to lean into curiosity and embrace new beginnings. What if this next chapter holds something even better than I could have imagined?

So, over the next few months, I’ll be exploring all the ups and downs of this transition. There will be moments of doubt, definitely a few tough goodbyes, and some scary parts, too. But I’m also going to focus on savoring the sweet parts of it all and dreaming about what could happen next.

Whether you’re navigating a big life change of your own or just curious about what’s next for me, I’d love for you to join me on this journey. Let’s embrace the uncertainty together, find the beauty in the unknown, and chase new dreams.
