It’s been a while since I wrote a personal blog but as the years go by I find myself feeling a lot more emotional about emigrating from South Africa.
For many people the decision to emigrate isn’t purely emotional. It’s based on something else – a job offer, an itch to travel and see the world, a desire for a different way of life, and for many South Africans, the dream of a safe and more certain future for ourselves and our children.
But along with these seemingly logical decisions come a whole host of emotions. Positive ones and negative ones.
Happiness, excitement, nerves one the one hand, but sadness, heartache, and anxiety on the other.
For me personally, it’s only now being out of South Africa for over 15 years, that the emotional side is really starting to hit home.
