For example, I didn’t have kids, nor was I expecting any, so Denmark’s generous maternity leave and excellent childcare were of no use to me.
Looking back, my time in Copenhagen taught me that independence has its limits. Community, balance, and a sense of belonging matter more to me than I realized, and if I were to live abroad again, I’d need to know I’d have them.
This loser couldn’t help telling on himself lmao. I’ve found more community on a 10 day trip to a city than this chud was able to in nearly two years. He was probably always complaining about everything and being a miserable prick all the time.
There are people out there who are not happy unless they are complaining.
Living in a foreign country gives them plenty of opportunity to do it, all the time.
I’ve had to cut friends off because they wouldn’t shut up about how stupid the people are and how much it sucks here.
I came out and asked one who complained she couldn’t leave, “oh, you can leave right now! Nothing’s stopping you!” Without missing a beat, she answered, “student loans.”
I supposed part of being educated is making intelligent choices about which major to pursue that would get you a lucrative career afterwards. Unfortunately they let in anyone with a degree and so many are wildly unqualified, feel frustrated, and complain all the time.
Another one, a good friend, tried my patience too many times and I told him the same thing. He looked downcast and said, “what am I going to do, go back to Holland and be a clerk in a convenience store?”
He did eventually go back home and last I heard he was managing a children’s amusement park.
oh yeah. contrast these two parts:
