I moved to Italy for my dream job, then lost it. Now that I'm back in the US, I'm even more motivated to return.
Briefly

A person moved to Italy for a marketing position in a beauty company after their father's passing. They experienced a fulfilling lifestyle in Italy, enjoying work-life balance and creativity without the pressures common in the U.S. After relocating to Rome, they felt at home, forging friendships and discovering local culture. However, the opportunity ended unexpectedly, forcing a return to the U.S. without savings or citizenship, leaving behind a life they had just begun to establish.
I slowly built a life in Italy, but just when I thought I had it all figured out, I lost it.
Living in Rome felt easy and natural, like I'd lived there in another life.
I thought, why not? What once felt like a distant dream suddenly became real, as if my dad was guiding me toward this new chapter in my life.
I didn't feel pressured to always be online, there weren't any expectations to work weekends, and my creativity felt fed by my real life.
