Hi there Tika,
I need your advice
It’s been a while since I moved here in Canada but I just got the time to write you an email
now. I’m sorry.
Things are not going like how I expected to be here, I became so stressful because the
environment here is so much different. I miss Indonesia a lot. I become so sad for being so
lonely here.
Each time I feel like crying I turn to foods. And so I ended up eating a lot. Strangely, eating
does comfort me in some ways. But it gives me a new problem; I gain so much weight now.
