My Personal Journey: New Beginnings

After years of thoughts, hopes, and gathering courage, the moment came when I told myself: it’s time to move to another country.

"Inviting Home", watercolor on paper.
The decision to leave home is perhaps one of the hardest and most complex choices. It’s not just about packing belongings—it’s about saying goodbye to everything we’ve known until now. Family, friends, language, smells, places that know us deeply.
We leave the culture we grew up in, the one we knew inside out. And suddenly, we are in a process of being reborn—in an unfamiliar place, within a foreign space, surrounded by a new language, a different culture, and habits that don’t always feel like ours. Yet sometimes, between the gaps, moments appear that remind us of “home.” Sometimes an inner voice whispers: maybe this is the place after all?
Because “home” is not just walls, a lease, or a paycheck. Home is a sense of belonging. It’s a safe space to breathe. It can be a bed, a song, a childhood memory—and it can also be one person with whom we feel we can truly be ourselves.
But how do we find it? How do we build a sense of home when we are far from “the known and the familiar”?
This journey of migration, change, and new beginnings is both external and internal. I’m here to share my journey exactly as it is: with insights, emotions, fears, and discoveries. All of this from a therapeutic perspective, one that sees psychological processes, but also embraces the human and simple.
I don’t offer definite answers. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula. Each person has their own path, with unique lessons and challenges. I’m simply opening a window into my journey, in the hope that you might find inspiration for your own.
I invite you to join me—follow, read, ask questions, share. Not because I have all the answers, but because I believe in the power of walking together.
Wishing us all peace of mind, and that we can build a place that truly feels like home.
And greetings from Georgia! :)
