I too I've had my fair share of this 😭 going back at home feels like I don't have anyone who wants me for me,,,they just want what I carry... even family 🥲 staying abroad feels like I'm not a person 😢 I really feel like I'm lost in this life, I just can't find my people 🤔 it feels like I'm an illegal occupant in this earth😔 God I need a life 🙏
thanks much for sharing your experience, i have made peace with myself moving back from the US to Kenya, i know the challenges i may face but it is what it is, I'm coming home ......
This was refreshing to listen to. I've been living in France for the past 6 years. Everything you said is true. Only experience can make you really understand reality.
When I came back home from Finland, after 2 yrs of study. My dad was so mad we early talked for 2 yrs. I came back with no money. This is like 20 yrs ago. Long story short, he is late and currently am doing exploits with my family ventures. You will be fine just take the many opportunities you can see here and run with one. Also give your family time, they will come around.
I’m not opposed to living outside of Africa but I wouldn’t want to live like a slave. With the current femicide crisis going on in Kenya and no one caring about women’s lives makes me wonder because home isn’t a safe place. 💔
Having spend on/off 18 yrs abroad since I was 18 yrs old when I came back to Kenya it was the best thing for my peace of mind...I’m now retired and living a good life
i was in france as well and i had the same experiences you've shared and decided to come back. the funny thing is that people feel like you failed cause you came back not knowing how hard it is
..i hit my wall 2 yeasr ago and almost decided to leave this world in a fog of confusion, exhaustion and bone -tired weariness from the years of trying to survive in a foreign land.....My body finally gave up from the abuse and i fell ill, lost the small attempt i had of a business and ended up homeless in a foreign land with zero friends....I'm ready for home...even if it is to die there..for all its glitz and glamor...i wish i never left for "abroad". Thank you for this...therapy my sister...i will be joining you home soon enough. Anybody wanting out should at least hear you and take the advice to always look after for you first coz there is only one.
I’m in Canada. After you share with them back home the problems you’re going through, they tell you to tough it up and then they ask you for money right after. It’s so disheartening, once you travel abroad, you’re now seen as just a money machine. The African mindset is crazy.
I used to dream about canada. When I got my visa, I felt deep within that I shouldn't travel, but then my aunt spent a lot of money already. Now, I'm frustrated, barely a year here. I'm not working much for now, but even with family here, I regret my decision and only wish for a way out. As a first born, I have so much pressure to make it that I'm currently battling depression. Worst is when I tell my mum that I want to return, the sad look breaks my heart but how will I continue feeling miserable, unmotivated. I will definitely disappoint my family and even be called failure by going back home. I will be rejected, but at least I will be in a country I can navigate through, not a strange 😢 soulless
@Thatgeekedchick it's an individual experience, remember. I really find it hard because it's my first time staying away from all that I know, and I have been subjected to stressful events lately. So,no everyone's experience is the same . Whether you prepare before or not, you will go through the phase.
You really did good for urself. I think mental happiness is the best thing you can give yrself. Am from Kenya too. Still debating on relocating. I wish i could talk to to and ask all the questions running in my mind. That small fear demon in my head. Anyway am proud of you taking that bold step of relocating. I envy you. I want to have the faith you had, and relocate.
I concur with your message, I felt that and going through that. Being abroad and coming back home is another level of mental stamina needed. I felt everything you have touched on but I find myself preferring to be in a rural settings and away from problems of the town/city areas. People can be so annoying most of the time and people not having boundaries of respect. People don’t feel any shame asking certain questions and embarrass you with it. Sometimes I feel I don’t belong even in the west or Africa. My spiritual awakening means I don’t want to be around fake people anyhow, I can read people and energy too. I prefer to protect my energy more than ever. I went to see my nephew and as soon as I arrived inside the living room one of the neighbours came in and started asking questions. I thought it was someone living with them but it was just a neighbour, I felt invaded. The other thing I don’t like is relatives telling people that they have a relative coming from abroad and that’s very dangerous. Someone could easily plan to rob you because they heard you came from abroad. I love the fact that you are in a rural area which is where I would love to be.
I feel like you. We might need to form a group, I don't know. Am just happy now I have finally grown a spine at 35😂😂😂. Fake people have been seeing dust from me. They better keep their silly opinions to themselves.
I also came back home from Germany after a long time with just my books and clothes. I am happy. After a time one needs that place called home. However tough it is at the beginning. When I now visit Europe I wonder how I survived it all,. I am lucky because I am an educator so I am busy doing my work.
hmmm not really. I do believe it depends of your life story. If you feel home everywhere you go, that's quite an accomplishment and I am happy for you.
This is an eye opening video. A friend of mine wants to leave her good job here in Africa to go settle there. I wanted to tell her not to just didn't have the words. On a side note what kind of mic do you use.
@@Jepisms I do agree, I look at it as exercise, exposure to the sun and grounding with the soil. Also, one can take it slowly and small scale at first and build up gradually. Have you looked into permaculture as a way of growing food.
I'm living in Jamaica and I would like to live in Kenya.can you helped me I would like to build a 3 bedroom home 🏠 can you please help.i am not wealthy.can help me please cost.thank you
I don’t know about others but I am very experimental with food and I don’t confine myself to African food. In the video the mandazi is very much African (Kenyan) but the congee is from Chinese cuisine
We actually switched from prestige to blueband. We prefer it and of course, there's nothing healthy about both so it's about choosing your favorite poison lol
And yet it could solve a lot of the unemployment problems 😭😭. Hopefully things will change in the future the way the music industry became ‘valid’ after a few years (when they saw people making millions from it😂)
Speaking about the challenges I face with family isn’t hate, it’s called being human. In case you didn’t know, many people in this world have toxic family and they still live with those families, because that is the only option they have in that moment.

💃🏽🎊♥️
You made the right decision! Am behind you, as a self-respecting African I see no need for me to be in the West.
Africa is the dream.
I’m not opposed to living outside of Africa but I wouldn’t want to live like a slave.
With the current femicide crisis going on in Kenya and no one caring about women’s lives makes me wonder because home isn’t a safe place. 💔
@@JepismsI see, yes that's very sad.
Still, I have to come back.
I can relate with this 💯.. There are so many times I have thought of returning back to Kenya 🇰🇪.. And I will do it at one point
Just discovered YOU.
WHAOO.. my sister from another mother.❤❤❤
Love, love love you...
Thank you for speaking my mind .❤
Thank you and welcome 🥰💃🏽

I decided not to listen to opinions of those who have never lived abroad. They have no idea what they’re taking about 😂
@ would you go back

Well done. I am your other mother! So proud of you my child!
You're an inspiration, brilliant young woman. Kudos 👏🏾
Thank you 🥰
my goodness!! how you it is on point🤩🤩🤩. go go go gal!!
Thank you 🥰
Love your enthusiasm..Go girl!..I am enjoying village life in kajiado. its a day at a time..God Bless you..
I'm loving the consistency 👏🏾. There's so much creativity and innovation here but it gets stomped. Quite tragic actually 😢
Kwanza the comments from family are enough to stop you from even thinking 😭😭
@Jepisms yes, and the education system didn't create thinkers. Hopefully we can change that as individuals over time

Love your company with furry cute ones! Best 💖

I feel like you. We might need to form a group, I don't know.
Am just happy now I have finally grown a spine at 35😂😂😂.
Fake people have been seeing dust from me.
They better keep their silly opinions to themselves.
@ 🤣🤣🤣social media is great for empowering each other and knowing that you are not the only one. I no longer tolerate any bs from anyone.
Left the UK to return home, best decision I ever made wueh!
I also came back home from Germany after a long time with just my books and clothes. I am happy. After a time one needs that place called home. However tough it is at the beginning. When I now visit Europe I wonder how I survived it all,. I am lucky because I am an educator so I am busy doing my work.
Me too, i just had my books and clothes 😂😂 and of course a lot of burnout.
I love the hair darling.
The content, too ❤
Thank you 🥰
Karibu sisi home is always good
I'm at minute 2:12 and all I can exclaim is, "Dear Jepisms,😢...thank you for this" , from Central France.
♥️♥️
Home is anywhere you want it to be!
hmmm not really. I do believe it depends of your life story. If you feel home everywhere you go, that's quite an accomplishment and I am happy for you.
This is true but also needs lots of privileges. Some people can’t have home even when they want to, unfortunately.
I love your channel just came across it today❤❤❤❤❤
♥️♥️
❤❤, first one here
yaaay🥰♥
I love your accent. What you say is very wise.
This is an eye opening video. A friend of mine wants to leave her good job here in Africa to go settle there. I wanted to tell her not to just didn't have the words. On a side note what kind of mic do you use.
Please tell her to do her research well 😭
The mic I use is an omnidirectional mic for phones. I got it on Amazon
Authentic girl.
First born syndrome ,sooo relatable
Bonjour. Je vis en France mais j’imagine qu’on ne s’est pas rencontré. Mon projet de retour se concrétise
Bonne chance et bienvenue 🤪
Beautiful beautiful
beautiful cats
I wish I can know u more, am in Ewaso kedong kajiado ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is that?
It looks like you are in a village set up, I love being able to grow my food
yeah its fantastic but also a lot of work 😆
@@Jepisms I do agree, I look at it as exercise, exposure to the sun and grounding with the soil. Also, one can take it slowly and small scale at first and build up gradually. Have you looked into permaculture as a way of growing food.
@ I am actually realizing we practice permaculture here at home but I’ve never known it actually has a name and it’s a whole philosophy 😍
❤❤
Hello you're brave gal . I like your cats , where do I get the fluffy breed of cat
We’ve had this breed of cats since before I was born so maybe you can borrow a kitten from someone then they can reproduce more
What did you study and what jobs did you have in France?
I studied a Masters in Digital Marketing and Communication and worked in corporate france as a media manager and strategist
I'm living in Jamaica and I would like to live in Kenya.can you helped me I would like to build a 3 bedroom home 🏠 can you please help.i am not wealthy.can help me please cost.thank you
I don’t know anything about building a house let alone buying land and all the bureaucracy that comes with it
Depends on where you want to build, rural, peri-urban or the suburbs. Land prices vary. It's okay to visit the country first and make the decision.
Baas! Now time to get married..
For you. Time to get married for you. I decide the timings of my own life.
are this african food? or do we do it that way
I don’t know about others but I am very experimental with food and I don’t confine myself to African food.
In the video the mandazi is very much African (Kenyan) but the congee is from Chinese cuisine
A quick one, leave blueband alone, if you must, switch to prestige. But overall, you are an encourager
We actually switched from prestige to blueband. We prefer it and of course, there's nothing healthy about both so it's about choosing your favorite poison lol
What is a Kenyan village? Where do you find one?
it's the countryside
Second😜
New sub❤❤mnipitie pia❤❤😎
ukona mtu?
i have 3 bothers
In the Caribbean as well it also seen as attention seeking and as a result it is kept on the side. 🤷🏾🧘🏾😊
And yet it could solve a lot of the unemployment problems 😭😭.
Hopefully things will change in the future the way the music industry became ‘valid’ after a few years (when they saw people making millions from it😂)
@Jepisms yes, we're working on it. 🤞🏾
But you are here online in need of bread crumbs from TH-cam! They are the same people same system. Maybe the “circumstances” was about lack of papers!
😂interesting one dimensional way to look at TH-cam and also, ‘lack of papers’ isn’t a something that applies to me.
I thought you hated your family
Speaking about the challenges I face with family isn’t hate, it’s called being human.
In case you didn’t know, many people in this world have toxic family and they still live with those families, because that is the only option they have in that moment.
sasa wewe ni high fashion lol.. ma givenchys
