Betul, a touching and authentic post and was impressed by your humanity. At present im writing about Aristotle’s Eudaemonia, the ultimate in human flourishing. He is very realistic about it being in a state of flux, with good and bad things around us. Some situations like you being away from your family is real and not pleasant. He doesnt act like the negatives will disappear rather we cope and aim for our best, like what you are doing now. And the goal is in the future all the pieces come together and we will experience bliss.
That is a good one! Yes, we cannot control and change everything, so we need to learn how to cope with them in the best way possible. Thanks for the kind words, by the way!
Missing your family is natural Betul. But just imagine that in addition to the missing family you didn’t have friends too and you were living in a hostile country…. so thank God …. everything is His grace – including our pain.
How awesome Betul.
In my very first blog – Around the World with Love; I had written – where ever there is love that is my home 💖
I am sure you would be doing video chatting with your family and that too is something to be thankful for
I can so relate to you about family. I have my married family here in Vermont, but my immediate family is either dead or live in different states. I hope you will reunite again with yours. Take care!
To Write or not to Write and What to Write 
May Allah fulfill your desire to be with your family. May he bless you all. Ameen

PhD students in the US are also somewhat of employees because we are also teaching assistants. So, I am also an employee.

Yes, I am grateful for that! I also feel at home in most places, but I still have an original home. That is what I miss. But modern life:)
