My fantasy is to live in Europe. |
|
True.
Tired of the mindset in North America. People will cry foul when a museum gets built, but not if taxpayer dollars have to be used to open up the streets in the suburbs to cope with the new Ikea that will open in a few years.
Those who strive to be better, or try harder, or look for some meaning in life beyond the daily routine of life are out of touch elitists, not people who want something MORE. :( The routine here is drink and/or shop at Walmart. Whoopee. :( Or hang out at a mall. :( Wow.
I want to see art, and history, and spend my weekends buying cheese and baguettes, eating in a park, and then finding some neat little gallery,museum, old bookstore to explore.
I need something different. :)

maybe I so need that. I'm tired of the mentality in my hometown.
Maybe I need another job/expand my group of friends.
I would love the opportunity to live in Europe, but with the global economy going into a tailspin, I don't know. Maybe not now. :(

6. Maybe just try moving somewhere else in the States first and see how that goes. |
|
Somewhere a bit more progressive. Moving to Europe is a huge, huge transition. I know, I did it. GOod luck whatever you do. :)
