Starting Over

Starting Over is a bilingual memoir tracing a decade-long journey of studying abroad, shaped by loneliness, cultural tension, and quiet resilience. Through cities, seasons, and sleepless nights, the author reflects on the emotional cost of growing up far from home—navigating distance, family pressure, and the shifting sense of identity. With honest glimpses into grief, humor, heartbreak, and hope, the book invites readers into the inner world of someone trying to make sense of who they are in places that never fully feel like home. Each chapter is marked by a flight ticket and unfolds like a memory in motion.
