If I want to buy a HEPA filter back home it takes me an hour to drive and shop and then drive back home, but here I can walk for two minutes and be at the local business that sells the HVAC equipment and be home two minutes later
This is Easter weekend and I feel a bit sad that I can’t spend it with my family. I could move back home to the States but there is part of me that really doesn’t want to run in the rat race anymore. Life is just so busy and hectic where my family lives and I just don’t like living that way anymore. You have to drive everywhere and I am really tired of driving each day to visit friends or grab a few apples at the store. I can walk everywhere in this town overseas, as every local business is within a five minute walk of my flat. This town has about 25K people living here and it is much more peaceful than life back home, the only drawback is that I hardly see my family anymore. The local contractor I work for back home has a ton of work for me but then I will be back in that paper chase mode and just spinning my wheels and getting older. I play in a band here and love playing music for people, but trying to do it back home is a lot more work with all of the driving and stuff. If I want to buy a HEPA filter back home it takes me an hour to drive and shop and then drive back home, but here I can walk for two minutes and be at the local business that sells the HVAC equipment and be home two minutes later. There is just a lot more wasted time and energy spent back home in the States.
