Nothing in my life abroad was objectively wrong.

And yet, something inside me felt completely off.

I was living abroad, building a relationship, studying, moving forward. From the outside, everything looked like it was perfect.

But one afternoon during my exchange semester in 2006, sitting at a small desk in Copenhagen, something shifted. Out of nowhere, I felt a strange emptiness in my body, almost as if the ground beneath me had disappeared.

And suddenly, these questions were there:
Where do I belong? Where is home, actually? Do I belong anywhere at all?
Nothing in my life had changed, but in that moment, I felt completely lost.

For a long time, I did what many of us do.
I kept going.

The discomfort subsided qucikly again, and I continued building my international life. I got married. I kept trying to create something meaningful for myself. Figuring things out on the go, adjusting and making it work.

Couple of years down the road, I was functioning on the outside, but inside I didn’t feel as settled as it looked. There were phases where I felt stuck, invisible, like I had somehow lost connection to myself along the way.

For a long time, I believed I knew what the problem was.
If I just find the right job… then everything will fall into place.

But this wasn’t the solution.

Because the real problem wasn’t out there. (It never is.) It was that I had slowly lost connection to what actually felt like me.

What finally started to change things

I didn’t have a perfect plan. It was also not a big breakthrough. It was something much simpler.

I began reconnecting with myself again. Little by little, at my own pace.

I rediscovered what gives me energy. What feels true. What I actually want, beyond what I thought I “should” want. This slowly shifted my focus.

And from there, things fell into place. I felt more grounded, more clear, more like myself again.
