I came to Canada three years ago with big dreams. Back home in Nepal, I imagined this country as a place where everything falls into place with hard work. But living here has shown me a different reality.

I’m currently in Toronto, juggling two part-time jobs while attending college. At first, it felt like an adventure, but now it’s just endless exhaustion. The rent keeps going up, and the cold winter nights make me miss my family even more. Sometimes, I think about how much I sacrificed for this dream, and I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

The hardest part is the loneliness. Back in Nepal, even if we had problems, at least we had people around us. Here, everyone is busy, and I often feel invisible. The Nepalese community helps, but even there, it's hard to form deep connections because everyone’s dealing with their own struggles.

To those back home who think we’re living the dream, I just want to say it’s not as glamorous as it seems. Sometimes, I wonder if the price we pay for this “better life” is too high.

Have any of you faced this? How do you deal with the feeling of being stuck and missing home?
