Finish

Dec 27, 2013 12:03

Sometimes I feel like I am doing "things" I don't longer enjoy. I know there are some issues I just can't avoid like work, you know, but the day-to-day routine is making me mad already. I want to change almost everything, to finish it all. I don't want to keep adding words on my agenda. I don't want to be insert anymore in anything. Maybe it is ( Read more... )

*found you from the fafner community*

ahh, don't worry about your english, it's just fine! i talk to people with worse english every day, lol.

i live in sweden (though i'm from the USA) and in my particular city it's really impossible to get a job. especially if you're a foreigner who's not fluent in swedish and doesn't have any finished university degree, and no job experience either. but it seems like everyone, foreign or not, gets all their first job(s) through contacts - friends or family members...

but my family (that i married into) doesn't have any such contacts. so my wife and i have been jobless for almost three years now. *sigh* but after some more time has passed, i can become a swedish citizen, then i am going to try to get a job in japan...

even though i'm 22, and i've moved countries twice since i was 18, i still haven't even visited japan even once although it was my childhood dream. there's a lot of people on LJ these days who have done it or are living there now and it makes me jealous... i keep daydreaming about what it would have been like if i had gone to japan right after gymnasium, and things like that.

i always thought that what's most important is that you are feeling happy every day. you don't need a tv, or car, or a good job, or anime merchandise and you don't even need to talk to your family members ever again in your life. but you should be happy! i think a lot of people think "i'll do it later, i'll change my career later" even though tomorrow something could happen that makes it impossible to do what you want (for example, an accident, war, or change of law : P ). or you just wake up and 50 years have passed and you never did anything you wanted to...

/blah blah

Oh! What a surprise to found a comment in here! So many thanks for reading and, of course, your reply. I can understand what you're saying, here happens too with work (you need contacts everywhere).
I have to say I felt amazed, you traveled a lot! How do you feel about that? And, you are so young! I am almost 27 yo
I have read the other comment, the one with the food explication, I have to say, I agree with that. I am doing some kind of "paleolithic" diet and I am feeling way better than before, even my muscles changed.

My grandparents (they're 67 years old) are also doing a similar diet, they don't eat wheat flour or sugar, and don't eat corn, potatoes, and some other things. Apparently they've been doing it for five years now and feel better than they have in years. But mine is not that extreme (yet, lol), I just cut out caffiene and the processed stuff + sugar. I never had much caffiene, but then I was going to go into surgery and I read about how it causes you to heal more poorly so I just quit it (plus it always sped up my heart rate and sometimes made me feel a bit ill).

I don't think I have travelled so much... My wife has travelled a lot more than me. Though she hasn't lived in more places than me, she's visited a lot more. And even though I've lived in three different countries, I was always really poor or otherwise not able to travel around and do things, so for example, I've lived in Sweden for almost three years now but still have only been in about three different Swedish towns just because I have no money to go anywhere...!

My parents used to help out with money when I lived in Iceland, but when I moved to Sweden they stopped (and basically haven't talked to me since), which is troublesome because among other things, if you want a job you need nice clothes for the interview...
