    I bought my phone from the US and its NOT locked. If u travel to other countries, u should try avoid buying a device locked to a specific network provider. Anyway, u can easily resolve the issue by buying a second phone or any device that u can use at any country. There are good phones that you can find for 250$ and below, new or secondhand. U dont really need an expensive device but thats how u work around if u wanna open a bank account and do other transactions.

    You can consider booking flight tickets with layovers in China when back to US. China currently allows foreigners a transit stay of up to 144 hours. That must bring a lot of fun to your journey.

    gurl, so proud of you! Starting over in 27 is not easy, because I also re-direct my career path in 27, live in my parents house, and it feels like starting from zero again. But I think this is better than wondering later in my life. Btw I enjoy your vlogs so much! very relatable :")

    Glad to hear from you again via vlog!! If you're staying in Indonesia for less than 3 months, is it an option for you to just get the tourist length unlock? That's what I did when I was visiting Jakarta for 2 weeks, but the temporary unlock lasts for 3 months IIRC, it was super easy to do at the airport, and should be more convenient than carrying around an extra hotspot.

    It's a hard decision but it's a smart move. Moving forward sometimes requires making tough decisions to step back. You know what needs to be done. Trimming to what's need, to travel lighter was what pioneers traveling across the country to new locations was required, even if emotionally painful, it isn't essential. Taking stock, restructuring/plan, helps to prepare for going forward again. Until then, enjoy family, friends and home. Good luck. BTW, I've had setbacks a few times, regrouped, replanned, reimplemented and it took time but it works out. I had a good career after the setbacks but kept moving forward. Now, retired and enjoying a good & satisfactory career and personal life.

    This title was so relatable, last year i turned 27, and i had left an 8 year relationship and was laid off earlier that year. Ironically, I ironed out some of my breakup with my ex in bryant park august of 2023. It does feel like a huge mountain to climb. but knowing that other people are going through similar experiences is a great way to realize, you're never really alone.

    Agree with what you said at the end. I'm 16 and I thought by this age I'd have all the things that normal people my age have at 16 including a boyfriend but I don't. I've recently come to the realization that it's fine to have goals and dreams but it's never a guarantee that you will be the person you thought you were going to be by that age and all you can do is make your life the best you can everyday. Thanks for the advice it helps understanding from the point of view of what it's like being in your 20's.

    I'm only 16 but seeing a lot of couples at my school makes me feel like I'm already losing this game before I can even start. Now I know everyone is going to hate me for this,saying that I'm so young but there's a bunch of teen couples out there and it sucks. I tried "dating" apps which originally the app was supposed to be for making new friends but the dudes on there are trash. I just don't want to look back when I go to tell my marriage story about how I met my husband on a dating app.
