Lately, my mind has been flooded with worries, and I feel the need to let some of it out. Otherwise, I might just break under the pressure.
What weighs heaviest is my visa situation. It’s ending soon, and I don’t see a clear path forward to stay. It’s terrifying to think that everything I’ve worked so hard for could disappear just like that. I’m not ready to go home yet, not without savings, not without achieving at least one of my goals, like renovating our home to make it more livable and presentable. But I know I can’t do it alone. Financially, I’m drained. I can’t even enjoy small luxuries because every dollar counts, and needs always come before wants now.
There’s also the uncertainty about work. Will I ever find another job as good as this one, with people who are genuinely kind and supportive? If only I could be sponsored then I wouldn’t hesitate to stay. I really like my current company, and leaving it behind would be hard.
