I’ve been wanting to move out of my Mom’s house for a while, and I originally wanted to move to Florida, but its, price, over-gentrified/fake/resort feel, overpriced mmj program, and Ron DeSantis turned me off, so I decided that I will try to move to Puerto Rico instead, hopefully by next year
anyway, what do y’all have?
I deleted my Instagram accounts, moved on with my life.
Facebook recently suspended my account because I didn’t give them my phone number, I couldn’t give less of a fuck. (Only used for marketplace)
After high school I was going to go to university in the country I was born in. Applied, got accepted, got a government scholarship and all - years of work and studying to get a good profile and grades for it.
A month before graduation I ended up deciding to move to a different country with a friend instead, with the idea that we’d work there for a year and then go back home to do university. We moved a week after high school graduation, I never moved back but he did. This was 13 years ago and the best decision I ever made for sure (and he still sometimes regrets going back).
This sounds really interesting, why was it worth it to stay wherever you are?
I don’t live there anymore - I moved again after 3 years to a different country.
It was worth it because I got out of my home country which is a crap place to live - it turned a lot worse over the past decade too.
Also because it was straight after high school, I did not have much going for me in career prospects. I ended up getting a bit lucky and meeting the right person and got a job as a 1st employee in a startup which didnt work out, but has given me so much experience that my career took off afterward and I managed to do quite well for myself.
Just comparing my life to my brother who has basically taken the path I was going to, same type of career as well. My experiences past high school just seem so much better than his was/is. And in all honesty his life has been pretty good compared to the average of other people in my home country.
Climate change.
In the mid 90’s when the data was becoming more mainstream, I felt that there wasn’t enough info to make a decision on it, looking back from now there was but the O&G lobby was muddying the waters as much as possible.
A few years later, ~97/98; I had read enough studies and seen enough data to accept that, yes; we were changing the climate, and yes; we need to do something about it.
It has shaped a lot of the decisions I have made in the last 25+ years.
BTW electric power tools kick arse.
Forgiving my dad. He was a terrible father but he’s a good grandpa. We made amends and I’m glad to have him in my life.
I cheated on my final exams, I wouldn’t change a thing about that.
