Article resonates with me. I'm Belgian and moved to work in SF in 2016.

I really hated it and it took me a long time to admit this, because it felt like failure.

I moved back 2 years later and the upside is that I now appreciate Belgium, my friends and family here way more. Before I was just focused on moving away to what I thought was a better place.

Belgium is a nice rich country. Almost no-one there is asking question "Why you don't move abroad?". That is the question to the people in poor countries, where one can move to the rich country and feel massive improvement in quality of life.
