“So I always had the dream of studying abroad and living alone since high school , but due to my family and financial situation that didn't happen, whenever I watch videos where my friends from here went abroad to study and living alone and being independent, I feel sting in my heart but I am happy for them. But maybe I can do it later when I have a job , that's what I thought . But now , maybe it is not so possible , because my family is pressuring me to get married and settle here . They don't like me to go anywhere alone and doesn't have the freedom to stay alone and live alone . But I don't want to be caged , i want to grow and be independent. I want to come out of my comfort zone.”

you must do what you feel is necessary in your soul. don't let others hold you back. I'm not necessarily saying to spontaneously go away with no plan-- have a set destination, timespan, and activities, and ensure your parents and loved ones know you will be fine. you are an adult now and are in charge of your own future. if nothing bars you now financially to go out, take advantage of your youth and gain irreplaceable experiences. you will never regret the decision to go out and learn more about the world. I wish you the best!
