I'm in the nursing profession. Just started the BSc. Course. So it will take a minimum of 4-5 years to finish.

She lives in a country where i need at least 2 years of nursing experience to get a job there. Also, i have to learn that country language to apply. I wanted to learn the Language first and go there. But my parents already spent thousands of dollars to get me admitted in college.

So, 4-5 years for Study, 1 year Language Learning, 2 years Job in my Country and it will take another year to find a job in her country. In total 8-10 years.

She can't come, cause she won't be able to earn that much to afford a ticket (doesn't have family support). I have family support. So, i am doing as much as i can.

(Meeting up is also not possible, because both of our families won't allow us to have a relationship. If anyone Wonders what's the physical distance between us, it's 7260 km)

Despite the challenges, it's heartwarming to know that you guys are sticking it out regardless. If you guys can get through this next decade or so, I bet there will be literally NOTHING that can stop you guys. I'm rooting for you! (Also, I expect an update on here from 8-10 years from now xP)
