I’ve just moved to Cape Town after 20 years in the U.K. Best decision ever. Am loving being back home. The grass is not greener in Europe.

I miss my South Africa every day. But no way I could survive and give my kids the life they have in Aus on a teacher’s salary back home.

That line hits deep. 🤍
“Maybe in another life, we don’t have to leave home for a better future” carries a lot of longing—love for home, pain of separation, and the hope that things could be different.
It speaks to how unfair it feels that growth often demands distance: leaving family, familiar streets, comfort, and identity just to survive or succeed. It’s not a lack of love for home—it’s the opposite. You leave because you love it and want something better.
And maybe… in another life, opportunity finds us where we’re rooted, not where we run to. 🌍
For now, carrying home in your heart is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.

Oef, I felt this! Side note: I think it’s important that we don’t bash SA as expats though cause it’s easy to get caught up in that🥲🙏🇿🇦
