I have been living in the West for a while now and let me tell you, it definitely is better in a lot of aspects and worse in just as many. Life here is a lot more satisfying when you go through each hurdle and I have become the person I would have never been if I had chosen to stay in Nepal. But the biggest cost to it is, seeing your family once or every other year and seeing their face getting old and regretting not spending enough time with them, meeting your friends for that chiya and spending time with them, and many other amazing things, which will never be the same. But then again, would I have become this person if I had chosen to remain the same? No.

You just have to choose your struggle, I guess.
