Male Female

Okay. So the decision was whether I should study abroad or study in my home country. It was really difficult for me to choose because I was conflicted between studying in my home country and abroad. I also had many different options. I had the option to study medicine in my home country or study at a university abroad. But you see, it's really difficult because the country is not safe, and the people can be scary sometimes. I just don't feel safe here. I want to feel safe and do whatever I like and wear whatever I want, so that I don't have to be someone who has to listen to others or can't even make my own decisions. I was really anxious before taking this decision. But after making the decision, I was really happy about it because I got the chance to study abroad. I was the first girl in my family to go study abroad alone, and I'm really happy that my parents actually agreed with me and sent me to study abroad. Sometimes you just have to make the decision, even if you feel uneasy or anxious during the process. I'm sure that the grass is always greener on the other side.
