This piece is coming straight out of my heart.

I joined Medium in September last year when I was visiting my fiancé in Ireland.

Two huge things happened to me in the same year:

1. Medium
2. Marriage

Both are, undoubtedly, life-changing.

Additionally, at the very beginning of 2022, I moved to Ireland and so a third huge thing happened and that was —

3. Settling in a new country

I was prepared for all of these changes. I wanted them to happen to me and so I sailed through the months of transition like I was made for it.

Together, my husband and I faced many difficult challenges over the past six months. We were the happiest when we got married and so unanimously decided that we will save our honeymoon trip for a better time. We both were excited to start our new life together in Ireland and so the honeymoon did not look so tempting.

Oh my God! Did we not go on our honeymoon?! Is that normal?

Absolutely yes.
