What do you mean by taking the red pill?

What do you do with your apartment in Bangkok when you’re gone for 6 months? Are you allowed to sublet it?

This is the same problem I’ve been having for the last 12 years. When I’m overseas, they want me to come back to visit. But when I visit, im just a burden.

The best thing to do is to organise you own accomodation and transport when you visit, so you still have your independence and there are no arguments about money.

Why though? It really triggers people for some reason.

I personally don’t care what people do with their own lives, it’s none of my business. But damn, people have really nasty things to say about how I live mine.

Americans for me. When I was living in Paris, I actually started to get really annoyed with them. I would constantly wake up in the middle of the night from people yelling in the street. Always Americans. I can hear their voices from a million miles away.

I have a friend from Texas, and when he speaks, my ears hurt and start ringing because his voice is so loud. And that’s his normal speaking voice.

Yep, I feel dead inside when I’m in Australia. Do you ever visit your family in Australia? That’s the only reason why I come back. Otherwise, I’d just stay in Europe. I feel guilty for being away from my family.

Maybe I’ll do 3 months in Australia from now on… 6 months is just too long.

I sell digital products for small businesses. Templates, ebooks, websites, etc.

I usually rent, but I’m looking to buy something now.

I grew up in Sydney! But my family lives on the Sunshine Coast. Hence why I’m bored out of my mind.

I own an online business, so I can work anywhere in the world!

And yes, that’s what I miss when I’m in Australia, the culture!

It’s too quiet for me. If I find Australia boring, I’m sure it would be worse in NZ.

The only reason I go back to Australia is to see my family and friends. I’m a city person, I need high energy.

Yes, I just got back from a couple months in New York! I’ve been to Reykjavik and Austin, but never Canada.

I’ve tried so many cities and I always miss Paris.

I sell digital products online.

I’ve tried so many different cities and I’m always drawn back to Paris. It just feels like home to me. But god damn, I hate it sometimes.

I just did New York for a couple months, and it was great, but I can’t afford the same lifestyle I have in Paris. I’m going to try London next for a few months and see if I like it.

I lived in Paris for 9 years, moved back to Australia and I regretted it. It also meant I lost my visa and I don’t have the mental capacity to go through all of that again.

So now I do 6 months Australia, 6 months Paris. And while I’m in Paris, I hate it and want to go back to Australia… and when I’m in Australia I hate it, and want to go back to Paris.

I feel like I’m never satisfied. I hate Paris for all the reasons you gave. But Australia is so boring in comparison, and I miss that passion and energy. Anyway, my post is pointless, sorry 😅 I’m stuck between two places and I don’t know what the solution is.
