A few weeks ago, I broke up with my girlfriend, who is from the USA (I'm Hungarian), and I'm trying to reflect on what happened, what I gained, and what I lost. I definitely gained some relief in the sense that the complexity of the relationship - visa, long distance - is gone. However, I also lost a lot of things: not only my partner, but also the idea of living on a different continent with a different lifestyle, a high salary (I'm a software engineer), and career opportunities. Now I'm asking myself a few questions: What is the next step for me? What are money and family truly worth? Would I be happier there than here? There are a lot of questions in my mind.
