Incredibly big life changes coming
I [33M] live in US. She [31F] lives in Taiwan.
I have decided that I want her to stay in touch with her roots and community so I couldn't in good conscience let her move to the US. That and it's kind of shitty over here.
With the way the world is going, we are getting married next month. It'll make dealing with residency stuff over there 1000x easier and honestly I really want to marry this girl. It's going to be in the courthouse/family office over there. We are going to have a real wedding once we're settled and have more funds saved up.
I have been relentlessly learning Chinese and acquiring skills that would make me employable working remote such as 3D modeling, quickly building apps with AI (I'm a software developer), and have thought about entrepreneurship such as opening up a 3D printing farm there manufacturing parts. I have been getting back into gym training as well and have been going consistently over these past 4 months. I'll need a healthy body for enduring the trials that I'm going to have to face.
This is actually the scariest thing I have ever done. The person I'm going to have to be is gonna be unrecognizable. But I'm going to have to grind my ass off for a few years before I've made it there.
At the same time, I have never salivated over a challenge this much before. The amount of growth that is going to come from this is going to be immeasurable. It's really good that I'm not moving just for love, I have so much to gain from this and with how the world is going I might as well just chase my dreams. I know it's going to be hard.
If I don't at least try this, then I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life.
