I stand outside the airport, my eyes scanning the familiar surroundings, yet everything feels different. It's been six long years since I was last here, and now, standing in this moment, I'm overwhelmed with emotions. The world feels both the same and completely foreign. I'm excited, but I'm also filled with a knot of anxiety. I wonder how much has really changed. How much have I changed? And what about them—my family, my loved ones? Will they recognize me? Will they forgive me for all the time I've been away? I have so many questions swirling in my mind, each one more daunting than the last.
The fear of facing their reactions grips me. Will they understand the person I've become? Will they embrace me like they did when I left, or has time built an invisible distance between us? The uncertainty about what they'll think of the "new me" is overwhelming. The biggest fear that keeps running through my mind is whether I'll be able to open up about everything I've lived through—the things that changed me. Can I find the words to explain it all? Will they even listen, or will they see someone different, someone they don't recognize?
I just hope that when I walk through those doors and into their arms, I'll feel the same warmth and love I left with. I long for the joy that comes with a homecoming, the comfort of knowing I'm truly welcome.
Choosing to go to California was never an easy decision. It was a 50-50 choice, torn between the promise of something new and the fear of leaving everything behind. The journey was never simple, but as I stand here now, I realise how much I've changed in these six years. I'm not the same person who left—physically, emotionally, mentally. The transformation is undeniable.
Looking at myself now, I almost can't recognize who I've become. I used to be chubby, self-conscious about my thick legs and bloated belly. My insecurities ran deep, especially the facial hair that always made me feel uncomfortable, like a part of me wasn't right, feeling like I could never be good enough. But now, I look at my reflection and see a different person. My curves are in all the right places, and I've worked hard to get here. Through countless hours at the gym and treatments to address my hormonal imbalances, I've completely transformed. The girl who once felt trapped inside her body has become someone strong, confident, and unapologetically herself.
