I connected very easily with the emotions you have noted in your lovely piece! I have also lived in London as a student, moved back home to New Delhi (because that’s where the jobs are!), secretly longed to go back to London, and then moved to the Himalayan countryside after feeling drained. I’m still looking for a stable remote job but I don’t regret any of this. I can only suggest that if your impulse tells you that living in the city is not for you, trust it. Everything else will fall into place :)
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment Aayushi! Your journey sounds absolutely fascinating and I’d love to learn more about your move to the Himalayas! It seems you write about it on your Substack so I’ll definitely be following along. Thank you for the support, I definitely think I need to take the plunge.. it’s definitely going to happen!
