SCARED AND REGRETFUL

I was a marketing analyst in Dubai for an MNC company. I moved to Sydney to do my masters and also attempt to gain rights, as I am part of the LGBTQ+ community. Now that I spent 2 years of my life here in Sydney, I learned that they are not so welcoming here. Australia thinks of International Students as cash cows. PR is not easy to get if you are from a Commerce degree. On top of this, I found out that my friend back in Dubai is going to be featured in a magazine because of her career achievements. I instantly regret my decision of coming here… if I stayed in Dubai I would’ve been at the top of my career. So now I’m in a slump and my heart hurts. I’m in Sydney doing packing bread. I regret my decision coming here, I should’ve stayed in Dubai. I spent SO much for nothing. I can stay for 2 more years in this country but, its like a “known” expiration date. I managed to make one friend in Sydney because of the pandemic. I know I’ll go back to Dubai a failure.
