I did it. I quit my job today and booked my flight to be back home next Sunday
After living in Canada for 5 years I just couldn’t take it anymore. Social isolation, though I do have friends here, had started to get to me. Its very hard to describe the feeling but life just felt robotic abroad. Even driving is so structured and robotic I just stopped feeling human. Everything has to be planned and structured here. Like even for a grocery run, lets say to buy rice, I need to plan a trip to costco or elsewhere. On the other hand, in India there is organized chaos which I dearly miss. The random encounters and spontaneous plans that wouldnt cost me a whole day is what I missed and decided to pull the plug on things here.
Dating life sucks here too in case anyone is wondering. Goodluck finding someone in brutal winters when everyone is just spending time indoors. I am so excited for the future. People my shit on India for being dirty and lacking civic sense but I will take it for all its flaws. Afterall, its home 🥰
