reasons for moving
1) traumatized by an ex who was married in TO-had to gtfo
2) wanting to go back to school
3) wanting to explore living in EU
Now my complete plan has changed, but I’m studying the program I’ve meant to for years online, and I’m closer to where I wanna be

No longer traumatized, ppl I’ve met here have also moved here for similar reasons - many people seem to have a pretty crazy story how they ended up in Berlin (if it wasn’t for school) or how certain things shifted once they arrived. I wasn’t prepared 2 meet a global family
wasn’t prepared to get closer to where I want to be with a loving community (honestly I’ve complained about BLN today but one thing in toronto is many people gossip/bitch which haha, not here).mainly wasn’t prepared for the documents/racism/random hard time the city throws ur way
But if it was easy... not everyone could make it and this city by its nature weeds out the entitled, bc the place isn’t status based. So I’ve overcome most of the hurdles I’ve needed to, the main thing is the working conditions in BLN suck tbh, I rely on out of towners, my main
Spot Dublin has j gotten sketchy, I am waiting til April for it to calm down. I don’t take the majority of request, ppl don’t want screening. Because i made way more in Toronto, I have to divide my time between the 2cities going forward so I can focus on finishing what I started
Bc I am NOT done yet. And I will not find this sort of global community in Toronto either w ppl who have all been through it and understand there is more to life than crying about first world problems all day. There are WAY bigger issues at hand, Toronto. So many complain there
And yet, comparatively speaking, from my experience adapting to here (such as inability to find a home 6 mos) as well many others who I met from places for example refugees here or people from Brazil etc... Makes me appreciate the quality of life back home, for several reasons.
I feel I can take anything on now.I don’t sweat problems bc there is no point in doing so. I feel this is a major lesson. I no longer have anxiety either. & am grateful 4 my life.the plan is I will be coming home now til end of Jan or possibly end of feb. I have 2 b back March 1.
And then I enjoy my spring and summer here in Berlin, maybe going back to Toronto for a bit in the fall or maybe mid summer. Not sure yet. But I do this back and forth for a little while too because, I realized I also didn’t value my family enough, and I appreciate them as well.
