Hey everyone!
I recently moved from Strasbourg to Paris, I wanted to change to a bigger city, but mainly for job opportunities since I landed a job here. My expectations where normal, neither high nor low. And although I’m having a relatively good time, I feel like something is off, don’t know if that has happened to you.
I had some many problems the first 3 months in Paris that I had enough of it, and in Strasbourg I had even worse problems since I didn’t speak french at the time, all the paperwork when you arrive to a new country, shitty job etc. But somehow, I found myself enjoying the city and my life much more there. But now, I feel like I’m really not enjoying my time in Paris, I’ve tried focusing so much in the opportunity that I have to live here, and all the good things I have. But even when I do this, I feel like I’m forcing myself to like it, it’s been already 7 months that I feel like this.
Have you been in this situation?, do you believe your gut can tell you when is not the place for you?
Any advice would be appreciated :)
