Next year, I’m going to marry my fiancé in the US and going to stay there with him since he’s in the army. I am from Mexico and live with my parents, I’m not independent at all hahah. I’m going to graduate college soon, and I’m really happy about marrying him early next year since I love him so much and miss him dearly. It’s my dream to be with him and live life together.

However, it feels like so many big changes are happening at once for me and it’s really scary and overwhelming. I’m going to marry, move to another country away from my family AND it’s my first time moving out from the nest, which makes it so hard since I’m going to miss my family and pets so painfully much. It’s really hard having such strong mixed feelings of wanting to be with my fiancé but not wanting to move so far away from home. I’m also scared I’ll be lonely there since my fiancé will be at work all day and I’ll be alone, or that somehow I won’t be able to find a job since I’m a foreigner with a foreign degree, etc.

I’d appreciate it so much if anybody has any advice or any tips on how I can make these changes easier, or how I can adapt easier being so far away from home and my family. Maybe anyone that has a similar experience that would help so much if you could share.

Thank you so much. Truly.
