    I'm 37, introvert and like you, I still haven't figured out yet what my life is, what it can bring me to and what it will be. But, I really admire the courage to start all over again for you, for your sanity and peace of mind. Keep doing what your heart desires. All the love halfway around the world, the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

      Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s reassuring to know that even halfway around the world, we’re all figuring things out in our own time. Starting over isn’t easy, but sometimes it’s exactly what we need for a little more peace of mind. Wishing you clarity and courage as you keep taking the next steps forward! ☺️✨

    4:45 "Life isn't about having all the answers. It's about the stories you collect along the way" reminds me of one of my favourite Doctor Who quotes " We are all stories in the end. Just make it a good one." This was such a beautiful and poetic video 😊

    I so want to take this step but I feel I wouldn’t be able to with me being 36 and not knowing anyone there to live there. How would I even qualify for the paperwork or know where to start in London. It is scary to think but I want to do what you’re doing so badly. Thanks for sharing your journey with us

    • @the.ashfiles
      @the.ashfiles  Місяць тому +1

      I only knew one person when I moved here. It's scary for sure, but it's a city full of expats ready to welcome you. Lots of facebook groups and what not to doin to meet them. I'm not so helpful on the paperwork side of things as I have dual citizenship, but there are lots of companies that will sponsor, so that just takes a little research :) - the only thing scarier than doing something like this, is having the regret of never trying. I would've always wondered. Sending you all the goodness and inspiration on your journey, whatever path you choose! x
