thanks much for sharing your experience, i have made peace with myself moving back from the US to Kenya, i know the challenges i may face but it is what it is, I'm coming home ......
This was refreshing to listen to. I've been living in France for the past 6 years. Everything you said is true. Only experience can make you really understand reality.
You really did good for urself. I think mental happiness is the best thing you can give yrself. Am from Kenya too. Still debating on relocating. I wish i could talk to to and ask all the questions running in my mind. That small fear demon in my head. Anyway am proud of you taking that bold step of relocating. I envy you. I want to have the faith you had, and relocate.
When I came back home from Finland, after 2 yrs of study. My dad was so mad we early talked for 2 yrs. I came back with no money. This is like 20 yrs ago. Long story short, he is late and currently am doing exploits with my family ventures. You will be fine just take the many opportunities you can see here and run with one. Also give your family time, they will come around.
I’m not opposed to living outside of Africa but I wouldn’t want to live like a slave. With the current femicide crisis going on in Kenya and no one caring about women’s lives makes me wonder because home isn’t a safe place. 💔
I concur with your message, I felt that and going through that. Being abroad and coming back home is another level of mental stamina needed. I felt everything you have touched on but I find myself preferring to be in a rural settings and away from problems of the town/city areas. People can be so annoying most of the time and people not having boundaries of respect. People don’t feel any shame asking certain questions and embarrass you with it. Sometimes I feel I don’t belong even in the west or Africa. My spiritual awakening means I don’t want to be around fake people anyhow, I can read people and energy too. I prefer to protect my energy more than ever. I went to see my nephew and as soon as I arrived inside the living room one of the neighbours came in and started asking questions. I thought it was someone living with them but it was just a neighbour, I felt invaded. The other thing I don’t like is relatives telling people that they have a relative coming from abroad and that’s very dangerous. Someone could easily plan to rob you because they heard you came from abroad. I love the fact that you are in a rural area which is where I would love to be.
hmmm not really. I do believe it depends of your life story. If you feel home everywhere you go, that's quite an accomplishment and I am happy for you.
i was in france as well and i had the same experiences you've shared and decided to come back. the funny thing is that people feel like you failed cause you came back not knowing how hard it is
This is an eye opening video. A friend of mine wants to leave her good job here in Africa to go settle there. I wanted to tell her not to just didn't have the words. On a side note what kind of mic do you use.
I also came back home from Germany after a long time with just my books and clothes. I am happy. After a time one needs that place called home. However tough it is at the beginning. When I now visit Europe I wonder how I survived it all,. I am lucky because I am an educator so I am busy doing my work.
I’m in Canada. After you share with them back home the problems you’re going through, they tell you to tough it up and then they ask you for money right after. It’s so disheartening, once you travel abroad, you’re now seen as just a money machine. The African mindset is crazy.
I used to dream about canada. When I got my visa, I felt deep within that I shouldn't travel, but then my aunt spent a lot of money already. Now, I'm frustrated, barely a year here. I'm not working much for now, but even with family here, I regret my decision and only wish for a way out. As a first born, I have so much pressure to make it that I'm currently battling depression. Worst is when I tell my mum that I want to return, the sad look breaks my heart but how will I continue feeling miserable, unmotivated. I will definitely disappoint my family and even be called failure by going back home. I will be rejected, but at least I will be in a country I can navigate through, not a strange 😢 soulless
@Thatgeekedchick it's an individual experience, remember. I really find it hard because it's my first time staying away from all that I know, and I have been subjected to stressful events lately. So,no everyone's experience is the same . Whether you prepare before or not, you will go through the phase.
And yet it could solve a lot of the unemployment problems 😭😭. Hopefully things will change in the future the way the music industry became ‘valid’ after a few years (when they saw people making millions from it😂)
@@Jepisms I do agree, I look at it as exercise, exposure to the sun and grounding with the soil. Also, one can take it slowly and small scale at first and build up gradually. Have you looked into permaculture as a way of growing food.
I'm living in Jamaica and I would like to live in Kenya.can you helped me I would like to build a 3 bedroom home 🏠 can you please help.i am not wealthy.can help me please cost.thank you
Speaking about the challenges I face with family isn’t hate, it’s called being human. In case you didn’t know, many people in this world have toxic family and they still live with those families, because that is the only option they have in that moment.
I agree with u! I moved back nine years ago and i have NEVER looked back! Congrats and we can do it💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
💃🏽💃🏽🥂

I didn’t have a choice in my case so i had to come back 😭

It's always a good day when Jep posts!
💃🏽🎊♥️
Love the message, the cats are just so adorable!

Love your company with furry cute ones! Best 💖
Absolutely 🥰
You made the right decision! Am behind you, as a self-respecting African I see no need for me to be in the West.
Africa is the dream.
I’m not opposed to living outside of Africa but I wouldn’t want to live like a slave.
With the current femicide crisis going on in Kenya and no one caring about women’s lives makes me wonder because home isn’t a safe place. 💔
I'm loving the consistency 👏🏾. There's so much creativity and innovation here but it gets stomped. Quite tragic actually 😢
Kwanza the comments from family are enough to stop you from even thinking 😭😭
I love your accent. What you say is very wise.
I love the hair darling.
The content, too ❤
Thank you 🥰

Omg…I feel the same way too. It’s so hard to feel like you don’t belong and it’s even worse being around people who don’t mind their business 😭😭😭.
I left Norway and now living happily in uganda no regrets at all
Home is anywhere you want it to be!
hmmm not really. I do believe it depends of your life story. If you feel home everywhere you go, that's quite an accomplishment and I am happy for you.
This is true but also needs lots of privileges. Some people can’t have home even when they want to, unfortunately.
❤❤, first one here
yaaay🥰♥
Authentic girl.
i was in france as well and i had the same experiences you've shared and decided to come back. the funny thing is that people feel like you failed cause you came back not knowing how hard it is
I decided not to listen to opinions of those who have never lived abroad. They have no idea what they’re taking about 😂
@ would you go back
This is an eye opening video. A friend of mine wants to leave her good job here in Africa to go settle there. I wanted to tell her not to just didn't have the words. On a side note what kind of mic do you use.
Please tell her to do her research well 😭
The mic I use is an omnidirectional mic for phones. I got it on Amazon
❤❤

Me too, i just had my books and clothes 😂😂 and of course a lot of burnout.

💯it’s like you stop being a human being 😭
💔💔
Me seeing this as I seek to go to Canada to seek greener pastures gosh😢

Bonjour. Je vis en France mais j’imagine qu’on ne s’est pas rencontré. Mon projet de retour se concrétise
Bonne chance et bienvenue 🤪
Second😜
I wish I can know u more, am in Ewaso kedong kajiado ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is that?
In the Caribbean as well it also seen as attention seeking and as a result it is kept on the side. 🤷🏾🧘🏾😊
And yet it could solve a lot of the unemployment problems 😭😭.
Hopefully things will change in the future the way the music industry became ‘valid’ after a few years (when they saw people making millions from it😂)
@Jepisms yes, we're working on it. 🤞🏾
Hello you're brave gal . I like your cats , where do I get the fluffy breed of cat
We’ve had this breed of cats since before I was born so maybe you can borrow a kitten from someone then they can reproduce more
It looks like you are in a village set up, I love being able to grow my food
yeah its fantastic but also a lot of work 😆
@@Jepisms I do agree, I look at it as exercise, exposure to the sun and grounding with the soil. Also, one can take it slowly and small scale at first and build up gradually. Have you looked into permaculture as a way of growing food.
@ I am actually realizing we practice permaculture here at home but I’ve never known it actually has a name and it’s a whole philosophy 😍
New sub❤❤mnipitie pia❤❤😎
I'm living in Jamaica and I would like to live in Kenya.can you helped me I would like to build a 3 bedroom home 🏠 can you please help.i am not wealthy.can help me please cost.thank you
I don’t know anything about building a house let alone buying land and all the bureaucracy that comes with it
I thought you hated your family
Speaking about the challenges I face with family isn’t hate, it’s called being human.
In case you didn’t know, many people in this world have toxic family and they still live with those families, because that is the only option they have in that moment.
sasa wewe ni high fashion lol.. ma givenchys
