A few years ago, I left Thailand and headed to the US for a bit, but it didn't work out.

- I lived abroad for years before returning to the United States for a bit in 2018.
- When I got to the US, I felt overwhelmed by being able to understand everyone's conversations.
- I left after two months when struggling with reverse culture shock. I don't see myself coming back.
I left the United States in September 2015 because I wanted to experience living abroad as an adult.
