The honeymoon phase

The problem is that I am only here in Canada for a few weeks and you can't judge people and places in weeks time!! I am trying to pass judgements, to sense the place and the people, and I don't think this is fair to anyone including me... Plus, I am REALLY not in the right state of mind... I am as sad and lonely as I could get.. I just lost my mother, and I think the more time passes, the more sadness hits me... Add to that being in a strange place, and that this whole plan of immigration was connected to her the most, and it makes me feel even more strange and sad. Most immigrants I was following on youtube were saying, oh you will go through the honeymoon phase when you first move to Canada where everything will look and feel pink... Well it doesn't.. Everything feels strange, and I am filled with weird feelings every place and town I go.. Every place I go has its own taste of strangeness, it is weird how it is the same feeling, but it still differs...

So no, i am not in the honeymoon phase and I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.. Maybe it is good to keep my expectations low... So that when I come for good, I want be hit but the end of the honeymoon and move to the divorce stage O.o
I know the feeling. You just have this feeling of unease and feeling that you are a long way from home.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether even though it is not like where i lived is home..
@BittersweetPotato I totally get that. If our minds were like gps though it would save where you grew up as home. Home is basically what you are familiar with.

I tend to go through a phase of strangeness and estrangement in any new place, before I start to feel at home there. I hope you will start feeling at home in Canada soon!

@SW-User Thank you, I guess it is normal .. But I am not used to change, and I generally do not like change, any change, so how about radical changes..
Sometimes the first impression is good, it's all shiny and affluent, and then we discover people are not friendly. If people are open-minded enough then you can construct your own life.

@EarthlingWise People were friendly and decent overall everywhere I have been.. It is just a radical change, makes you second guess yourself.. I mean I second guess myself when I am choosing lunch, so how about this O.o

Canada is a big country, with a diverse population.
It may not be what a lot of immigrants are used to.

@chrisCA i live in a diverse population currently so this one i am used to... but i live in a small country so it is definitely different
@BittersweetPotato Have you started your one potato tour yet?

As I mentioned to you the other day. Don`t get too far ahead of yourself with the thinking. We will grow on you. 🤗

@Degbeme you are right... problem is that i always think ahead :( i do not know how not to do it :(

Maybe more of a "hey this is new!" phase rather than honeymoon. You're not getting married to Canada, just experiencing it new.
