I’ve always been very happy and cheerful here on tumblr. Time passed and lots happened and people slowly moved to other platforms so I stopped sharing. But now I feel the urge to share with people and I feel that none of those platforms is suitable for this. If it isn’t shiny and perfect, nobody cares. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀So, what’s going on now? Basically I moved to Dublin two years ago, I discovered I’m not allowed to go back to the place I call home without a visa, my soul was crushed a year ago by a toxic working environment, I managed to overcome that, finally get a job for a company I really like, and what happens? Because of a global pandemic, they moved my starting date to 2021. On top of that, all my new opportunities depend on a visa that I don’t know when it’s going to come (thanks Irish bureaucracy) and you know that nice company I mentioned before? Well, if I don’t get an European citizenship by July 2021 I can just go fuck myself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It’s hard, I’ve never felt so mentally exhausted in my whole life. It’s hard to listen to people say that you are the best candidate out there but they can’t hire you because of your type of visa. It’s hard to think of all the sacrifices you’ve done to get this far to only find closed doors.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But I still firmly believe that there is always a bright side. I still have people that support me and love me for who I am and that understand what I’m going through. And I still have myself and my dreams. How are you coping lately? -- source link
