he got engaged after 2 months? dude, you dodged a bullet
Agreed 😅
Was just about to say this
Fr sounds like he wanted an immediate replacement I feel bad for the other girly
I feel this. I got married and divorced within a year. He was remarried in 7 months. You dodge a big bullet and saved a lot of money!!
As a Christian…. Was he Christian?
It's crazy that for many of us millennials, when we were kids, we thought that by our 30's we would be marry, living in our forever homes with a stable dream job and maybe with one or two kids. And now, he we are - just beginning our lives, change paths now and again, learning each day more about ourselves and about the world, trying to stay sane, alive and afloat regardless of what life throws at us with each passing year, struggling to make sense of all of this, but most importantly - persevering in searching for joy and happiness in the little things in life, in those little moments that make us happy whilst tracing our own individual paths. Star strong, Lindie! 화이팅! ガンバレ ! ♡
Gosh tell me about it... it's a (lie??) societal message that we're pushed, especially as women, that we should be married by 30 or something is wrong with us. Whew. I'd rather be single at 30 than settle to be with the wrong person tbh! I love what you say about learning each day about ourselves and the world. Thank you for sharing ♡
@LindieBotes nothing is wrong with us it's the world we are living in it's not kind anymore and it's impossible to please... we are taught to live and love and be kind.. it turns there are lots of people expecting you to live like them no one wants you to be different and treated poorly if you are.. I'm 36 did single at a lowpaid job everything right and important for my siblings worked low paying jobs to be there for my 2 orphaned younger siblings.. called unwanted or unlovable or fool..and my older siblings make fun of me for not marrying men they know.. guess what I'll choose all these choices all over again because we only live once and we are allowed nooo are supposed to get up after we fall down we make our choices because this is our life.. let them live the way they want do want they want... we need to love ourselves because we matter... live life Happily ❤
@@Juju4me I am so sorry people said such horrible things to you. You have been through so much! I love your positive mindset.
I’m 36 and I quit my country at 30. Now I don’t know if I should go back to my country because I became poor in Europe. I wanted to study here, but I need a full time job to survive so it’s not possible and scholarships are not available for people older than 30 (great). So maybe I’ll restart my life now. 😅
I’m very happy to see that the people here are in similar situations, not happy that everyone is struggling, but that atleast we aren’t alone in our restarting process. Adding timelines for our lives can be beneficial but so many people think it’s the only way to do things and will act surprised or judgmental when you’re making adjustments or starting over.
Sometimes people think that 29 is too old, but not, when you are 40 or later you realize that when were 29 you've just started your life. I'm 42 and I'm learning English in order to change my life.
Moses restarted his life at 80. Never is too late
This! Yes, we can restart any age.
reassuring
Paul did too (idk how old he was though).
Thank you for this comment. I needed to see that ❤
29!!! I just started over at 51. Anytime is the right time
30 years old, unemployed for 1 year (quited after 3 years of abuse) , single (and celibate) for 4 years, no friends except my sister, still living with my parents, OCD, GAD and depression diagnosis. And I thank God for every single thing. I am med free for a year now, I built my body in the gym and although I may "lack" any things, I have my life and health ans the people that I love the most. Heads up people we will never surrender 💪🏻
This same EXACT thing happened to me at 29. I broke up an engagement, thought my life was over. Then one year later here I am, in another continent, making TH-cam and in a healthy relationship. What's more! I'm adding another language! You got this Lindie🎉
Twinning! I like your Shorts btw!
Wishing you the best of luck. My life turned upside down at 39 and I feel like I’m too old to restart my life but a lot of people are telling me that’s not true. Society makes it seem like you need to have it all figured out by your early 20s and that’s just not realistic.
It's too late when you are dead, thats it, dont listen to society
You are JUST 29 girl! look how many things has happened during last 5y, as many can happen in the near future :) Remember, sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together ❤️ I'm wishing you the best 🤞
I feel so old (turning 30 in a few months) but you saying this makes me feel much better :3 THank you!
OMG I'm in a very similar situation to you at the moment. Finished my master's, ended my relationship 6 months ago and moved in with my parents in the middle of nowhere. I had a lot of physical issues until I ended the relationship and then they all stopped within a week or two! I'm starting a business in my field and trying to get everything set up to move somewhere I've never been and basically set up a whole new life for myself with no one else's influence on my decisions. I'm also playing with a lot of ideas and picking up old skills and hobbies. It's so freeing and so terrifying. It's really hard but somehow I don't really regret any of the decisions I've made?
I really look forward to following your process and feeling a bit less alone in my blank slate life.
Hi Lindie, so courageous to share your life struggles, disappointments, and challenges. You’ve accomplished more in 29 years than many accomplishment in a lifetime.
Your trust in God is such an example for His Glory!
Wow, thank you for your kind comment. It's really only God that's gotten me this far, I would have (and was very close to) given up a long time ago tbh...!
I just turned 30 this week, and am in a very similar boat, except my life hasn't really started yet. I've never been married, engaged, or in a serious relationship. I had serious mental health issues in my early 20s that I didn't get help for til I was 25, and that's mostly what I've worked on for the last 5 years. I'm just now getting my life started. We got this Lindie
Happy 3rd decade of your life!! We got this indeed. Glad you are getting better now!
@@LindieBotes Thanks, Lindie!
Lindie, it always amaze me how you share "bad" news, you embrace whatever is happening and put yourself back on your feet, with or without tears in your eyes. Really encouraging for many of us. Wishing you the best ❤.
As a silent reader of your blog since many years ago, I admire your tenacity and faithfulness. Lots of things happened to you in 2 years but I only see an inspiring and strong person that I always admire. Keep shining and inspiring us!Godbless.
omg I'm also 29 and starting over. After living in 6 countries I feel like I don't like this working holiday life anymore and want to live in one place for a few years. I actually want to go back to live in France and maybe stay there for a while. It's not that I love what's happening to you but it's nice to feel we are not alone in this.
Wow, how do you feel like having lived in 6 places? I have also lived in 6 countries and it sure makes me confused as to where I am "from". I hope you enjoy France if you can go back!
@@LindieBotes Oh it definitely feels confusing. Though I feel mostly chilean because I lived half of my life there, I did leave that country like 4 years ago and when I'm back o visit I really don't feel "so" Chilean anymore. Thank you ! I'm trying my best to land a job there so I can move back. Now I'm living in Austria.
+1 to not feeling so Chilean anymore 😢 @@chilenaerrante
my life completely fell apart a couple years ago, mostly due to my own fault. I've been in a hole for 2 years, basically wasting away not wanting to live. only recently, now 27, do I see some light at the end of the tunnel. It's okay to restart your life. You're intelligent and motivated, you'll be fine
This video provokes so many emotions, I've cried, I've laughed, felt inspired. I'm 32 now, unemployed, trying to change career, starting struggling with money, lost my dad 3 years ago. I have so many hopes and dreams and ideas, desperately want to move to another country (Spain as well), but also there're so many fears and uncertainties. Thank you for sharing your updates, it really helps as if talking with a friend ❤ and that would be so interesting to see more of the bookish content
Wow this comment made my day! I’m so sorry about your dad 💕 maybe I’ll see you in Spain one day! Sending lots of love
From one (almost) 29yr old to another, it's like watching a fellow sapling grow into a beautiful tree with a lively, glowing inner core that could only exist through trials and fortunes-all those fallen leaves, branches, and bark contributed to enriching the soil at your roots, and the floods of emotion were the water needed to add back the moisture into soil that had become dry. To be part of the same forest/lifetime is really magical, it's amazing to see you reach further up toward the sky 🌞 TLDR; lindie girlie you are GLOWING and GROWING 🫶🤧
I didn't even realize how stressed I was at my previous job even though my eye was twitching almost constantly. I went to the doctor, they did a bunch of tests and nothing, of course. Almost half of my face was twitching at that point. I finally decided to quit my job. The next day after leaving it my muscles stopped twitching and it never came back. Your body often tells you to stop what you are doing if it's too much. And now you have the freedom to do whatever. And I also want to move to Spain soon btw. :))
I'm starting over at 29, too. I quit my job and am moving from de countryside to the biggest city of Brazil. It feels a little bit frightening, but if we want to see a change, we have to be the change. Good luck to us ❤
Another video of yours was recommended to me yesterday, and you have such a unique aura. Wish you the best!
espero que dê tudo certo! 😊
@@ana_carolina251 obrigadaaaaa 🥰🥰🥰
I really appreciate how transparent you are about what goes on in your life! As someone who also struggles with normal life things, it really makes me feel better to know I’m not the only one who’s not always having the best time ever or achieving everything I want all at once.
London in 2013 I walked on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Along the way I met a large number of youngish people that were transitioning through various stages of life. This would be a great opportunity to check back within yourself to find out next steps of your life. Your language skills definitely would be a great asset to you. Just a thought to recharge your inner voice. Hugs.
i am also 29 F, have quit my job with no back up.. Felt physically and mentally sick from the job. my partner, friends and family saw me change (i wasnt bubbly anymore) I was depressed and tired. I ended up making the decision to leave. I felt like i made a huge mistake yet the right decision (huge mistake bc no income yet my health is improving!)😅
I felt ashamed like i failed at life, but i’m so glad to see i’m not the only one experiencing this ‘crisis’ at 29-30.
I wish you all the best in life :)
I'm starting over at 40. Others are starting over at 50, 60, 70 and on. The stability of marrying for life and working at one company until you retire is just not a thing anymore. We will all be starting over at multiple points and for differing reasons and not all of us will be happier or sadder than we would have been in the alternative life, but I do think we'll be more interesting.
💚 I'm also 29 and recently quit a perfect-on-paper job without anything new lined up. Starting over is daunting, but it's also an opportunity to find a better fit. Wishing you the best!
I relate a lot to this video. I found your channel through your hungarian videos a few years ago. I was in my mid 20s and decided to quit my job and live in Hungary/travel around Europe for a year (which had always been a dream of mine). I’m SO glad i did, it was definitely a kind of crazy decision but it was also so fulfilling. But now I can totally relate to the feeling of “starting over”. I’m also 29 now and in a new country, applying to jobs, learning the local language, making friends, and just building a life. 90% of the time i feel like it’s really exciting and fun, but sometimes i do get a wave of feeling freaked out and ungrounded.
I appreciate you sharing these little pieces of your life, good luck with everything ❤️🙌
I am 39 and starting from scratch. Thank you for sharing your story between ypu and the comments, I see that there is hope to turn things around.
I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a tough time, but as someone who's on the cusb of taking decisions regarding education and proffesion, your message feels very comforting. Things rarely work out as we've planned, and that's ok
Sorry for your loss 😔 I was diagnosed with M.E/CFS but fibromyalgia also fits what am currently experiencing with headaches, fatigue and stomach pains. Definitely stems from burnout, I am trying to manage my time and energy better but the best option would be to take the sabbatical when I can afford to. Well done to you for putting you and your health first and loving you better.
8 months ago I finished a Masters, left a relationship I had moved to a city for, started a job I didn't like, had to make completely new friends, feeling physical symptoms too... it was/is still hard sometimes, but I'm so proud of myself for getting here. It's hard to start over but eventually rewarding, taking time to focus on ourselves is something we don't do often. You got this!!
I live in Spain now, and finally feel at home here :) the sun, the people, the mediterranean life are definitely a good mix of things to help you get through tough times
I was diagnosed with sleep apnea as well (in college). The sleep doctor recommended either getting a retainer that kept my tongue from falling back, or to force/train myself to sleep on my side. He said I could stitch a tennis ball in a sock on the back of a t-shirt and wear that while sleeping, but I didn't find that helpful in the long term. He also recommended a product called the Rema Tee, and this has helped much more. It's basically inflatables in a belt that you wear around your chest to keep you on your side at night.
Lindie - Thank you so much for sharing this. As someone who also restarted her life at 29, let me tell you, it gets so much better. It's difficult and the growth and feelings of satisfaction are definitely not linear but my advice would be just to give yourself grace. No one has it figured out. Applaud yourself for being brave enough to make these changes, for being open to the change, and putting yourself first.
Also, I lived in Argentina for 2 years and highly recommend it if you're looking for a place to visit after you graduate in August.
Good luck on your goals and I look forward to seeing more videos! Very excited for you and for what's to come :)
You're such an inspiration Lindie. I'm 30, single, living in a city for work but with no family or friends there and recovering from a burn out. Your video made me feel seen in a society where you're "supposed" to have everything figured it out at that age. I wish you best ❤
Hey Lindie,
I have been watching your videos for couple of years now. And hearing from you feels like catching up with a friend once in a while. I love your courage. Lately life has been hard on me too and I want to start all over again. You encourage me a lot.
as a silent follower of urs who has been looking up to you since years i somehow feel SO RELIEVED that you shared this video. ive been struggling a lot with my health too since a year and now im pretty sure that im just burnt out from all the stress ive unknowingly gone through. when you mentioned that you felt like your work wasnt valued, i related to that bit a lot. i put in so much effort and yet everytime it felt like a door was being shut right in front of my face. i thought i just needed to push myself harder but the aftermath was just detrimental for my health. ive always felt unwell, sick and extremely exhausted. things arent working out and they wont work out like this. i feel less alone knowing that im not the only one having to quit smth, settle for smth (hopefully) better and starting over again. thank you for sharing your plans with us. i wish you all the best LIndie!!
OMG thank you for sharing this, I can relate so much to your experience. I'm 31, and the past two years have been the toughest. It all started after I split from my 13 year long partner - with whom I thought I'd be for the rest of my life. I remember seeing your own life updates back then and I felt I wasn't alone in my struggles.
A job contract is finishing next month so I will take a short break before starting something new. I'll be going on my first trip to Japan in September! three weeks as well. It would have been nice to meet you there for a coffee.
Sending best wishes to you! 🌷
My mother get divorced with my toxic dad finally after 38 years of marriage… now she’s finally happy. You will see - everything will get well soon. You are strong, beautiful lady. And also you need to remember that yours mummy is always with you ❤
sometimes you need to burn it all down to build it back up for the person you are now. wishing you all the best
books!
and yeah, I know what it's like to restart your life: scary, challenging, exciting, nervous time :) wish you strength and health of course
I'm really sorry about what you're going through, but I know you will come out of this stronger in the end. You're amazing and a great influence to a lot of us, so whatever you decide to do, you'll be amazing at it and we will support you as best as we can. Keep being amazing!
My undergraduate advisor also quit his corporate job at 29 and he explicitly told me that he started preparing for his professor job at 29. So I have no doubts that you'll be fine and do great Lindie. And I really hope you'll be happier as well, just as ny professor is!
I honestly admire you so much. You are so smart, disciplined and well versed in many skills! A designer, a youtuber and video editor, a polyglott! Even though unexpected and unwanted change is so hard, when we look at all the things you are, the kind of person you are, there is apsolutely no chance you won't do amazing things in life! This change can be an opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, starting a new, expanding your horizons! Comfort is great, and being close to someone and feel secure in life is ultimately the goal, BUT, there is so much time for you to have that! Nothing is lost and it's definitely not too late. You will just start your life now! No longer a student but fully independent, no children or spouse to have to consider when moving or achieving your goals or spending money. Just out there doing whatever you want for yourself. No compromises for any of your wishes!
And then, everything else will fall in place. You will grow and expand and blossom, and others things and people will magnetically be drawn to that.
Just don't be afraid, or be afraid and do still what you dreamed of, you got this! ❤
That is the right sound effect, it is a Bruh Moment. Wishing you all the best, Lindie!
You would be shocked how many people pass on because of job stress. You made a good move. You have many talents.
Goodness, yes. There's even a Japanese word for dying from overwork, it's rough
@@LindieBotes I'm a 74 year old American Senior. You inspire me, I started learning Italian 3 years ago. I have a wonderful teacher from Milan. Last month I started my first French lessons with a wonderful tutor from Grenoble, France. Stia bene e Portez-vous bien.
I'm 57 and I still feel young and believe in a contented present and future life... never dismay
Excited for you Lindie!
Sending all the love! Follow your heart and go for it!
Lindie, I've been following you for 6 years now, and even though I am not as disciplined as you are, you've been such a major help for my language learning journey! Thank you so much...
good luck! everything will be ok!
Lindie, you are still so so young!!! Take your time girl! Sending love 💚
Thank you for sharing this video with us , I am starting over at the age of 35 and I was feeling down ,this made my day , I also quit my job because I was severely underpaid and stressed out , I started to focus on my health , I am working on my Turkish and Spanish , I started reading again I picked up about 10 books that I have been enjoying reading ( fiction ) because I used to read only self -help books and classical books , I dug out my paints and brushes so that I can practice my painting skills that I have neglected to quit sometime , I started preparing for my Masters degree too ,I think even that we r doing many things we think that we r underachieving because we tend to compare ourselves to others . Keep up the good work Lindie you r doing great
I am sorry to hear you are quitting your job. Don’t worry about money over your metal health. Your well being comes first. I am wishing you the best in life. You are amazing. Have a great day. 😊
Good luck!! ❤
Yes to the book shelf tour! And about a book you want to write: How about writing down how you grew up in different countries, what they gave you and maybe what others in similar situations could learn? Or how to deal with the feeling of not being home anywhere? Just some thoughts :)
We love you, babe
Stay strong ❤
It's very brave and inspiring to open up like this! Wishing you the best & really hope you'll get to live your dream
Always inspires me to see other ppl restarting like this, tbh I always feel crazy when I feel I need to do something like this but here we are! Thank you for the video Lindie and am wishing you all the best in your near future!!! I am excited to see where your next chapter will start
Lindie! I wish you all the best! Stay strong 💞💗💖
I got laid off from my job last year, aged 25 and I was completely lost. My parents allowed me to move back home and I took a five month break before applying for another job. I look back and realize how necessary those five months were, I wouldn’t be the same had I jumped right back to work
Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us, Lindie. It must've been difficult but you have handled everything so well up until now so I do believe you will be able to achieve what you set out to achieve and starting over at 29 is great! I also lost a loved one and the pain is unbearable. But hey, we live with the joy of their memory with us. Good luck on your thesis and new adventures!
Don't feel bad, I sleep with a Bi-Pap machine every night.
It will take you awhile to get use to the sleep machine, but you will sleep sooooo much better once you get use to it.
Te admiro demasiado, tu puedes con todo, te deseo mucha suerte con todos tus nuevos proyectos 🍀
OMG A lot of the stuff you're talking about here resonates so much with me. I do enjoy my work, I enjoy my friends... but the paycheck doesn't give me the security to do what I'd like to do and travel and see the world. I'm itching for a change... but I'm also afraid of leaving the little security that I have 😅
I think a lot of millennials are running into an early midlife crisis. We grew up thinking the world was better than it's turning out to be... and we're frustrated with the antiquated 9-5 job market that doesn't value us.
I've been following you for a while, so I hope everything goes well as you navigate this new place in life! You deserve happiness and peace, and we're rooting for you :)
I didn’t know you were a believer! I followed your channel for a while and always got inspired by your language learning journey. The video about your mom has broken my heart but I get that I will have to experience it one day as well.. Anyways, thank you for your vulnerability and openness, I wish you all the best in your journey and it gives me hope that my life can also get better with time despite the circumstances. With love from Switzerland!
Lindie ur amazing 🤩 doing these require such bravery don’t feel like ur falling behind. You’ve achieved so much and are going through so much don’t be hard on yourself
Lindie, I send you all my love!
Lindie - loved to see this video from you!! Very validating and gives me a sense of solace in my own life. Having followed you since 2014-ish, I only see a woman who has grown and acchomplished so much. I found myself hating my career and out of a long term relationship after college and I thought my life was over. It had only just begun, and if I have to start all over again, so be it. Also, great taste in novels!!!
Ahh Lindie, you don't know how inspiring and refreshing you are. I love your view on life, been a follower for years. I really wish you all the best, you got this! 💞
Good luck. I've followed your content for years and appreciate all you do.
Thank you, I'm graduating in a few months, and lately I was thinking that once I'll start a "real" job I won't be in control of my time anymore. I was so scared to not have any time to relax, thinking that I will surely burnout and won't have a chance to recover anymore.
I hope I'll be able to "just rest" as you are doing now when I'll need to❤
Hi Lindie! I'm a classical music professor who is about to move across the world with my family and start over. Your positive outlook is galvanizing!! 😊
Thank you for sharing. You give me strength. Thank you ❤
All the love and courage to you
You've been through the mill, but I'm so impressed with the way you continue to learn new things and craft a life that you enjoy for yourself. Take it at your pace though, and although there are a lot of people rooting for you, I hope you don't take that as pressure - I have nothing but respect for you and your journey. Look after yourself first and foremost x
You are awesome, Lindie! You inspire us so much, you've gone so far and I'm pretty sure you'll live many wonderful things still. Also: books! I really would love to listen about your readings.
Lindie! so proud of you, your resilience, and your multi-facted talent. I know you'll figure it out
Hi Lindie, you're always welcome in Belgium! I moved here on 1 July 2024 (I'll be 1 year exact in 2 days, wow!) to restart my life as well, and it has been great; I don't regret my decision at all. I hope you'll find your next home soon :)
You got this, Lindie 😊 I'm rooting for you.
Lindie, I’ve been following you for years now and I’ll always be here to chat if you need 💕 you’re really strong and should be so proud of yourself. Keep going ❤
Thank you for sharing Lindie ❤ I’m 27 almost 28 and I’ve been having so many doubts recently, thank you for showing me that starting over IS an option. Bon courage pour la suite et prends soin de toi !
I admire your effort ❤
I think you are doing a marvelous job! At 29, you have a lot of time and energy left for a new adventure. You have brilliant talent, intelligence, and drive to bring anywhere. You overcame so much! I hope you can be happy wherever you choose to go❤
Lindie! Jy is so groot inspirasie vir iemand wat ook lief is vir tale. Ek kan nie indink hoeveel seer en stres jy die afgelope 2 jaar moes deurgegaan het nie, maar ek kan net dink dat jy oor 10 jaar gaan kan terugkyk en groot getuig van die Here se hand. Alles van die beste en mag al die regte deure vir jou oopgaan!
You are an inspiration!! Keep going and believe that everything sorts itself out...
You are a brilliant, beautiful person and we believe in you too... blessings 😊
What I love is to watch when you show your books.
Hi Lindie, thank you for sharing your story and journey. I think many of your viewers can relate on your when starting over. It can cause alot of ruckus and comments around us, but it's comforting to see other people sharing their stories as well. I hope you continue taking good care of yourself, your content is very valuable to your viewers.
I'm from The Netherlands so feel free to ask questions if you have any
Thank u for this video Lindie!!! I really into your videos and I got more motivation to keep all my studies and language learning up.Thank too much💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
30 is not old at all, we are always learning, it's a journey. I'm also starting a new profession in mid twenties. Good for you to rest and I'm sure you'll find peace. You've helped me a lot in leadning languages so thank you for that. Good luck to you
Lindie! Your videos truly support and inspire us. Thank you and please stay as healthy as you can. ❤❤❤
Come to Hungary girl!!! I’m 29 too, started new studies this year, trying to figure my life in a foreign country (I’m Polish, moved to Hungary a while ago), we’ll take good care of you here :)
Thank you for being so genuine and open lindie - I’m also experiencing a quarter life crisis atm so I love that we’re both trying to figure things out 一緒に頑張ろうね❤
Thank you for sharing your story. As you can see from the comments, so many of us 29 year olds are going through similar things and it's nice to know that we're not alone in our experiences. Our 20s are full of big decisions and some of them are incredibly difficult, such as leaving a job. However, I am so glad your health is doing better. I studied abroad in Spain and had the opportunity to travel around the country, as well as to other countries in Europe. If you want recommendations or to talk through anything, I am happy to do so! I am so excited for you!
Since you also love learning, I want to recommend Stephanie May Wilson's books and podcast Girls Night. She's got a cool testimony of how she came to faith (The Lipstick Gospel), which includes traveling to Europe, and her writing is so relatable and honest. It feels like chatting with a friend. I've been following her for a few years now and have bought some of her prayer journals, all of which I love. Not only does she talk about many of the things that we face in our 20s, but what I think you'll find really cool in particular is that she's moving to Spain in the near future! She actually just released a book, which I haven't read yet, that talks about how our mid-20s to mid-30s is our "everything era" where we're making so many huge decisions and how to navigate that. I wanted to share about her because I have the feeling you'd really like her too 🙂
P.S. I'm going to Tokyo and Seoul for the first time towards the end of August through the beginning of September. I'm SO SAD that I'm missing you by a couple of months. I would've loved to meet you!
Im a forever fan Lindie! Good luck with all ❤
Hiii Lindie, thank you for the video, It's always a joy to see you sharing about your life, wishing you all the best 🤗
Hi Lindie, Thanks for the update. I am thinking of you. I am a big fan! Rest up, Your next chapter will be wonderful. You are so amazing! Also, I really like to hear about your books!
Wishing you a fresh start
Yes to more bookish videos!! 💫
I feel similar things, except that I didn't have a lot of "life" built that I had to start again. :'D I lived abroad in the Netherlands with my boyfriend for about 1,5 years, made amazing friends and had a job I liked to go to day by day, but then in December I realised I had to move back home (for multiple reasons). We came back to our hometown Budapest at new year's, I started taking driving lessons (cars and driving have NEVER been a part of my life, so that's a huge deal for me), I was looking for a job but ended up going back to my former workplace, then my boyfriend and I broke up and I acknowledged after several months that I have really strong feelings for someone I met in the Netherlands. I am in a long-distance relationship now which is also completely new for me. I turned 30 in January and right now I have no idea what I want to do in the future or where, because I don't plan to live my life in Hungary, but I cannot decide where to try and go next. I'm trying to take a breezy approach and just wing it, see where my life wants to go on its own, because everything I've ever planned did not happen so far. :'D
Dutchie here! I got back to language learning again after a long time and also got back to your channel. Your story has been inspiring and I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. I’m from The Netherlands so if have any questions, let me know!
