I'm leaving korea.
In early 2017 I moved to Korea with not much idea of what I was doing and with no plans. I didn't expect teaching English to last more than a year or two, but I also had no idea what I was going to do with my life. A few months later in August, I met the love of my life. Soon thereafter we moved in together and my life changed, for the worse (not because of him!). I've always had a fairly dependent personality. Growing up with no self esteem or sense of independence is a recipe for disaster. I was entering adulthood and my first full time job while also moving across the planet. Although I had been to Korea before, it was still a big transition. I fell into a toxic cycle of attention-seeking, immature behavior. I relied on him for literally everything. I couldn't do my job. I resigned anyway in order to stay here and stay with not only him, but my new comfort zone. Korea coddled me. It allowed me to avoid the hard truths of growing up. Everything in Korea is easy for us ...
