I think the most challenging year for me, relatively to new experiences was last year.
First of, I decided to quit my job, (I didn’t though,) instead I moved cities but still did and do the same thing.
I moved to a city where I didn’t know anybody and it was an hour away from my hometown.

I moved to a city where I didn’t know anybody and it was an hour away from my hometown.
It was the first time I left my mother’s house and rented a room on my--
--own. I hit it off with my coworkers right off the bat and they were very welcoming. I didn’t feel alone, for the most part, as if I wanted to go somewhere I had could always ask my coworkers and they would hang out with me almost always.
One of them told me that he--
One of them told me that he--
--knew it could get lonely in a place where I didn’t know anybody and if I needed to talk he would be there for me. (Anxiety tells me he didn’t mean it... But since he was interested in me I believe he did.)

Anyway, stayed there from July 16/17 (?) until around middle of--
--November, maybe less. (Crushed on a fellow manager, almost in his forties, to this day I don’t know if he felt the same—he gave me mixed signs, or maybe I read into it—and not knowing makes me sad.

Moving forward to the beginning of November, the company I work for purposed to me opening a new store in another city, I said yes. (As I love what I do. Almost everyday anyway.)

We made arrangements so that the company would pay for--
--transportations and the hotel until I find a home to live in. So far so good.
And then things got tricky...
For about a month and a half I had to wake up at 6am to get to the train (6:45) and afterwards had to get a bus to this new city I had to move into. Let’s name--

For about a month and a half I had to wake up at 6am to get to the train (6:45) and afterwards had to get a bus to this new city I had to move into. Let’s name--
it Louri. It was a 3 hour commute, which I thought it was manageable, until... *drumroll* I found out the only transportation back was at 7pm and arrived to my city at 11pm.
Commute (6h) + work hours (8h) = 14 hours. It was 14 hours A DAY I lived basically for work.--

--Which is not that bad as I’m used to actually work more than 14 hours a lot of days. But, it’s unbearable when you don’t even have the time to go grocery shopping or do laundry or have a social life, this was the time I realised that’s important to keep a social life outside--

Anyhow, I spoke to superiors and told them that I couldn’t continue doing that commute, and they /finally/ did something and got an hotel for that very same night and a home for me to settle into the next day for the following two months.

Alright, now I was having the--
--time of my live. I was not paying bills, I wasn’t paying commute, I wasn’t paying for food, (only middle of night snacks,) plus with the money I could save I could give more to my mother to pay her debts. Me and the company had a /verbal contract,/ reminding y’all that was--
--for two whole months. I felt like a successful young person at 22, this multinational company wanted /me/ to open a new store and was paying for my utilities to keep me there.
Too good to be true for a 22 year old, right?
Damn right.
