[avatar=dreadful] So I'm leaving for Germany on the 27th. o___o
Just a Succubus with a mask, nothing to see here! ^^
Do you speak german now well enough? Did the books help? Where in Germany did you go?
Well I'm working on it more with the German. I can understand a fair amount if given context but I really need to get used to hearing it more. Articles are still killing me, but I guess I'll get those with practice. And possibly forever if things go well?
This is a big step. O.o I didn't know, if I could left my country for good. But I hope your things will always go well.
Gotta get the butterfly bruise this year. Private Outfit
wow, exciting! I'm a true homebody, never lived anywhere but where I am now. I've visited other places, but I'm always so happy to get back home. Good luck and I hope all your plans work the way you want them to.

There's a lot of uncertainty with my moving to another country. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. But at the same time, I feel like it's worth trying. I've been working to try to make a better life for myself since I was around six years old. I had pretty basic goals in mind back then: do well enough to not have to worry about safety with the people I lived with, clothes, food, healthcare, and housing. Those were the things I really wanted to improve in my life. Here I am, decades later, and I feel like those are even farther away now. It's true, I might get lucky and somehow score an amazing job that pays well and treats me well, and things might pan out, but so far it feels like playing the lottery. There's always a chance you might win, but mostly you lose, and if you keep playing, eventually you'll likely just go broke. My making it up to this point has been a whole lot of barely staying afloat in a sinking ship, and currently, support for sinking ships in the US is pretty unreliable. If I stay where I am now, there's a CHANCE I could win that lottery, but there's a greater chance I'll go down with the ship. If things go badly overseas for me, I'll be basically just back in the same ship. Right now, it looks like I have a chance to get somewhere better. I have a better chance at making a living wage, not living paycheck to paycheck, owning a new car and possibly even a home in my lifetime. I have a chance to get real healthcare where I don't have to wait 12 weeks to see a doctor. I have a chance to get treatment for the torn ligament in my wrist and the joint damage in my hips and knees, both of which should have been treated years ago. I have a chance to get allergies diagnosed, new glasses, vaccinations, medications, and imaging to properly assess my brain and other CNS damage. I have a chance to be able to afford to lease a car, so I won't have to live in fear that if my car dies, I'll be jobless. I have a chance to work with people who fix problems in the criminal justice system, instead of people who cause problems in it. Some day, I may even have a chance to have kids and send them to a school where they're less likely to be shot. Right now, there's a lot of risk, but I don't think staying where I am is going anywhere. I'm just getting by and barely surviving. This might give me a chance to do more than survive and actually live, so I'm going to take it.

It's snowed only once this year. It was a huge snow for us though (North Carolina). My kid was out of school for an entire week lol

its utterly heartbreaking that in a country as rich as the US, a lot of people don't have the basic necessities of life. And its getting worse. I sincerely hope that taking the risk of moving to Germany works out for you.
