If you stop looking back, steph, you'll realize that the life you have, the people around you are the best you can ever have.
You've realized your dream of traveling, got recruited in a great company which provides you a nice home in an ideal location, great housemates, included in a closely knitted local community. Your family is ever supportive, patient, your boyfriend and best friends are waiting for you to be back, and they had little questions about you leaving 7 hours away from them.
For the things you love, you have to sacrifice things you once owned.
And the things you sacrifice, you exchanged it for love.
You will take this one year, to learn all the things that others take 5 years to look for.
