Figuratively and literally. It was time to take off. March 7, 2014 – Left for Mexico. I stayed for a few months. Got a remote job, so I had money coming in. Wow. Thinking back now as I write this, I remember feeling so scared and alone. It was not something I wanted to do …
The next 4 years were really difficult in the sense that I felt so unsettled. I felt like I just didn´t belong anywhere. I knew I didn´t belong in Mexico. But I didn´t belong in Canada doing what I was doing either. I missed my family, and I know they didn´t understand entirely why I …
