Recently, luck was on our side as my father found a house in Irvine, California through the internet, sealing the deal without a physical visit.

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." - Helen Keller

Trusting the agent's information, he made the bold decision. In preparation, we packed our essentials for shipping to the US, leaving my room and my sister's equally sparse.

"The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." - Alan Watts

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

My room is now empty, with only memories of the life I once knew. It's a strange feeling, like closing a chapter of a book you've grown attached to.

"The only thing that is constant is change." - Heraclitus

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

My sister also packed all the necessary things. We've donated, sold, or packed away most of our belongings, leaving behind only the essentials.

"Life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever." - Peter Hagerty

Now, a question lingers: Will I return and visit again? Only time will unfold the answer.

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." - Seneca

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

Leaving behind our familiar life in South Korea is both exciting and nerve-wracking. It's like stepping into the unknown with blind faith, hoping that everything will fall into place.

"Life begins at the end of your comfort zone." - Neale Donald Walsch

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

But there's a sense of adventure in the air, a feeling of anticipation for the new experiences that await us.

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams." - Oprah Winfrey

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

Irvine, California, holds promises of new friendships, new opportunities, and a fresh start.

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

A New Beginning: Our Move to the US

As we embark on this journey, we carry with us the memories of our past and the dreams of our future.

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans." - John Lennon

Our move to the US is not just a change of address; it's a step towards a new chapter in our lives, filled with possibilities and endless adventures.


Key Takeaways:

  • Embracing change: The move to the US is a major life transition, representing a bold step into the unknown.
  • Leaving behind the familiar: Saying goodbye to a comfortable life in South Korea brings both excitement and anxiety, as the family prepares for a fresh start.
  • New beginnings bring opportunity: The move signifies a chance for new friendships, experiences, and a brighter future in a new environment.
  • The journey is just beginning: While the family is leaving their old life behind, they are embracing the adventure and the possibilities that lie ahead.
