Leaving everything you know and were comfortable with
Being surrounded by a new environment and new people
Is pretty intimidating for anyone
The absence of the people and places you grew up with
Makes you feel even further detached
From where you came
Something to be learned is that home
Isn’t always a place
It can be found in the little things
We love to do
