Living abroad is a dream, but sometimes, it comes with a kind of pain you can never explain. 🤍 My mum once told me: “If I live another 20 years, and you come home only once a year, you’ll see me just 20 more times.” Twenty times. I can’t explain how deeply those words stayed with me. You leave home chasing the life you’ve always dreamed of, hoping to build a better future for yourself and the people you love. But somewhere along the way, you realise that every year spent away is also a year you can never get back with them. No one tells you that one of the hardest parts of growing up is learning to live far away from the people who feel like home. And no matter how much you achieve, how much you earn, or how beautiful your life looks from the outside, nothing can replace the feeling of being home with your mum. Sometimes, I wonder if the life I dreamed of is worth all the moments I’m missing. Because the truth is, I left home to build a better life, but a part of my heart will always wish I could spend more of it at home. 🤍

✅ No matter how much life changes, how far I travel, or how strong I try to be, in my mother’s arms, I’m still that little boy who needs nothing but her love. ❤️🥹 Home isn’t just where I come from. Home is her. And no matter where life takes me, a part of my heart will always belong in her arms. 🤍
