Thanks for the kind words!

Fortunately we clicked instantly and everything is wonderful. I’m just chilling with her dad right now, waiting for her to come back home lol.

I felt alienated first, since this is the first time I’m in a country thats unfamiliar, where I dont know directions or landmarks. Weird feeling.

If Lemmy ever gets enshittified, I’m coming back to this comment and giving it an award

Thats good, that makes me feel a bit easier; hearing success stories. I’m still just a teen who’s never traveled outside of countries where I know I have a safety net, so this is a bit stressful.

Regarding the part about fleeing your state, I am not american, but I hope you guys find a safe environment, and I hope you work through the troubles brewing in your country right now.

Going to meet an internet friend abroad in three days, and I am petrified 🥲
