My first dream was to leave the region I grew up in, which I did. The second was to leave my native country which I did too, but then I had to come back. So it felt a bit like a setback. That's still one of my goals.
As for dreams that never happened (or didn't happen yet) one was to live in Singapore for a while and then New Zealand.

I get that, I had that exact order of things I wanted to accomplish myself. It was rough, but I feel I've made it happen.

but then I had to come back. So it felt a bit like a setback. That’s still one of my goals.

But you went out, that's an accomplishment. And if you could do it once, you can do it again. If it is harder for some reason now, you've had practice, you'll do it. I believe in you.
