    "Being alone doesn't mean you're lonely" such a powerful and true statement, sometimes I feel more lonely when I'm surrounded by people not when I'm alone.

      If I may, you should try and go farther south! The border states and cities are more Americanize, let say. The southern states are a lot richer in every sense, culturally, astronomically, etc Oaxaca, Chiapas, could be great for the humanitarian work that you do. God bless you

    Hey, Sunshine... You seem a lot happier and more refreshed. I noticed in a lot of the pictures you took here in the States that you appeared unhappy and sour? I no longer see that now... Growing up in Los Angeles and spending time in Asia certainly changed my life. I came back with a greater sense of balance and appreciation.

    I have been in Mexico for 12 years. I started in the Yucatan, I moved to the state of Veracruz 3 years ago. The hot weather in the Yucatan was getting unbearable. I pray that I will never be forced to move back to the US. Living in a foreign country is not for everyone. But I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity for this very wonderful experience. Hasta la vista baby have a good day no matter where you are

I came across your video, as I begin to plan my next move, which includes relocating. Not sure where, but Mexico is at the top of my list. As you shared your experience of relocating and the freedom that is has brought you, it truly blessed me. It gave me a wink and a nod that I can do this and it's just about what is best for me at this moment in my life. Thank you! I look forward to reviewing your past content and your future moments.

    These were great points, I actually resonated with some. I came back from mexico city a month ago, loved it! Although I only knew some words in spanish and very little conversation phrases, I really felt the vibe of the place, despite a language barrier, I feel that is true most of where you go.
    I think a lot of the points you made are due to the Culture we have in the US, so its so different from Mexico. The thing is too we seem to associated Mexico as so dangerous and nothing good about it, as if america is the best in every way and american culture is the best and right way for everything, not true! I cant wait to go back and visit again.

I also moved to MX alone and the thing that’s been holding me back the most is my fear of going out alone, especially to bars or clubs (where I would want to meet people my age) but as a woman I really fear getting attention from people I don’t want it from, and I would rather avoid the whole situation altogether. I didn’t move here just to spend all day in my apartment, but when I don’t have a specific place to be this is what I do...I would love to hear about your favorite and safest ways to meet new people

    L.A. sure doesn't seem like a good fit for you- and I am sure you agree. Major congratulations on your move. It has obviously created many more changes beyond geography. One note on being single and dealing with the occasional loneliness (you probably already know this)..... I have been single a long time and have decided it's somewhat unnatural for most humans to be alone, so there's some very challenging times. Interestingly, single women appear to live longer than married women, and married men seem to live longer than single men. So, based on that one metric a few general assumptions could be made. But regardless, the one major activity that has helped me cope with loneliness is meditation. It's been my salvation; always providing a place to relax, regroup and feel connected even when humans simply are not available! Best wishes for safe and enjoyable travels!

      Mexico city is huge, beautiful architecture, green spaces, alot of museums, mostly nice weather

      If you dont speak any spanish maybe places like playa and surroundings might be easier, also cities like San Miguel de Allende, Puerto Vallarta, Merida
      Oaxaca state, Chiapas, Guanajuato are also very beautiful states with lots of culture

    I’m Mexican American my parents are from Mexico and I dream of living there☹️ we go every year (pre-covid) but my parents expect me to finish college in the US, find a job and make a lot of money😪 I’ve brought up that I want to move to Mexico and my dad is supportive but my mom shuts down that dream real quick because I’m a girl and I have never been independent, far from my family, and for fear of cartels. Last year I lived 4 months with my grandma who lives on a ranch in Zacatecas and I told her how happy life in Mexico makes me and she just tells me to stay but my mom will NOT allow me even though I’m an adult lol😭 my only fear would be trying to find a job and be financially stable on my own.

    • @fourthdeconstruction
      @fourthdeconstruction 3 роки тому +1

      I'd finish school and find a virtual job and move wherever I want. Your mom's experience of Mexico is hers not yours. There's a saying in Spanish that says "cada uno habla como le fue en la feria". The fact that she couldn't find herself in Mexico is her experience. I would say that she feels that she also suffered and sacrificed herself for you coming to the US therefore she feels like you owned her big and she is entitled to exercise her power. So sorry but it's true what she doesn't know is that time changes people, locations and this pandemic and technology has opened new opportunities. If you don't like Mexico you can always come back but what you can NOT change is the things that you never did when you wanted to. Good lucky and be strong!

      i don't know how it went for you in the end but I can assure you that colleges here are really good and since your parents are mexican you are entitled to get a dual citizenship so that you won't have to pay as a foreigner.
      Since you already speak english you actually have a big chance of landing a cool job. You can always go back to the US if you don't like it in the end, but I highly suggest you try it out porque no hay que quedarse con ganas de nada en esta vida
