I am torn between home and a job.

After college, I got a job abroad. I wanted so much to work abroad but I did no think I was going to miss my home country this much especially my family and friends. I have been in this country for three years now, and although I visit my country once in a while, its not enough because all my childhood memories are still there. I remember the vintage tea party I attended the last week before I traveled with all my friends and my family. They were wishing me a good stay and that hurt so much. I still remember my younger brother urging me to reconsider but I was too ambitious to do that. Now I understand how they were feeling then. Being away from home is not very easy at all. I have thought about quitting my job and going back home several times, but I do not have the strength to cancel my contract. I really need to work but at least in my home country where I can always be close to my family.
