I remember when I arrived early this year, every sight and experience was magnified by being away for a long time. I savored and appreciated all the little things, better service, more courteous, friendlier people, even things you mentioned about having city lights on at all times. For me, I don't think it's necessary to earn the same amount as we had abroad, as it's not realistic (and isn't practical also, as the priorities are different). So I told myself, I just need to earn enough to be happy, and it will be okay. It’s always a great feeling to be back.
