I almost felt like closing myself off 😔
This afternoon, seeing the beautiful weather outside, I couldn’t hold back my tears 🥲 Now, I have these emotional moments every 2–3 weeks. The theme is always the same: missing my friends, family, the ways I used to have fun, and the lively, warm atmosphere of home. So far, I haven’t made new friends here 😶 I don’t really know where to go to have a good time. My clumsy English makes me—a self-proclaimed extrovert—turn socially anxious 🫣 I even feel sorry for the people talking to me. They have no idea how fun and expressive I am in Chinese 😔 After crying, I finally decided to go out and take a walk 🚶♀️ I took some photos with the autumn leaves 🍂📸 This was my first time visiting a sightseeing spot since arriving: Old Sacramento State Historic Park 🚂🏛️ It was quiet, with historic buildings and old trains... peaceful and solitary. I posted the photos on Moments, and a lot of people liked them and said, “It’s so pretty! So America is like this!” But what I really thought was: “Few of life’s disappointments can be shared with others.” 😶🌫️💔 How do you quickly adapt and blend into a new environment? Any advice? 😿 #Homesick #AutumnVibes #LifeInUSA #CaliforniaLife #Emotional #Adjusting #NewInAmerica
