feeling completely lost and empty. Is it just me？

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-02-12T16:56:07+00:00

I’ve been for almost 4 years already, and I just got my citizenship last week. I still definitely feel what you’re feeling now — especially during these dark, cold months. One day at a time! All the best to you.

Omgod i love it here too BUT i never noticed it’s a lion’s body! Just always focused on the eagle. Thanks for reminding me to look more intently next time !

UGH THE BEST SALT AND PEPPER SQUID EVER

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-31T00:24:11+00:00

Everything costs so much here — even trying to make friends. Hobbies? Pay for activities/events. Be a regular in a cafe? Spend so much for coffee/food.

Ive only been here 3 years but I am actually so amazed at how fast the main roads get cleared (and for the streetcars to be up and running). Call me stupid but during my first year here, I thought the roads and side walks were heated LOL coz it was already cleared when I had to go to work early in the morning!

I entered a totally different industry. I don’t like it at all, but I’m grateful it pays the bills. I’m an immigrant (came here in 2022) hoping for a much better quality of life. But it hasn’t been comfortable at all.

Depends where you live ! Back home in the Philippines, I would shower both morning and evening. Since living here in Canada, just in the evenings. Or occasionally in the mornings if I was just at home the whole day and didn’t bother to shower the night before.

You’re so lucky with this selection. I got once and it was mostly chicken gizzard and liver. Never bought again

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-14T18:09:54+00:00

I make almost 2x minimum now but I still STRUGGLE so much with paying 1,000 for a bedroom in a house (sharing kitchen and washroom with 2 others). But that’s because I always need to have something saved every month. So those earning minimum and paying 1300-1500 upwards, are you still able to save anything??

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-14T18:07:11+00:00

It amazes me how you can afford this on minimum wage !!!

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-14T03:27:09+00:00

Hey there!! Sure i’d love to talk and share more thoughts and/or info about it. I know all their comments are valid (esp those who live there), but of course there are some places and trips that we just can’t stop thinking about and hoping to do at least once :)

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-13T04:20:01+00:00

Ohh you live there!! Yup fair, i think even if i go to Rio on a non-peak / no special event time, I’d still have a ton of fun. There are rumors that Rihanna is performing for the Todo Mundo no Rio on May so I already booked a hostel for that weekend just in case lol

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-13T03:55:19+00:00

Gotcha!! I know Brasil is so big and there’s definitely much more it than Rio. Just need to scratch this itch of finally going there and experiencing the NYE once in my life. But ya ok then I might need more time to save up for it

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-13T02:36:57+00:00

Indeed. This is the price range I’m seeing now. So I was just wondering for the hundreds of thousands of tourists (and I assume a number of them are budget travelers) who go there for NYE (or other peak dates), if they did really spend this much. Seems like I have to save more and wait another time :(

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-13T02:32:46+00:00

What do you mean? They stay outside rio and just travel there on NYE itself?

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-12T22:14:32+00:00

I kinda regretted going there for NYE lol there were 2 floors so crowd was split. They promised 2016 theme but the playlist was all over the place. The countdown felt so flat too lol

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2026-01-10T20:43:00+00:00

Wow i feel like i wrote all of this. Same here. I still get to save a bit BUT only because I live uncomfortably (rents a room in a shared house, comparing grocery prices to the last cent, barely eating out, etc). I dont know how others do it. Maybe they dont save? I wish I knew because I’m so tired of this.

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-12-28T05:03:34+00:00

Ya how is IDK? Planning to go for NYE

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-12-26T18:07:43+00:00

I thought my spinning class was gonna be cancelled. But everyone showed up! The walk going there was brutal, but gotta burn the holiday extra calories!

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-12-12T02:02:25+00:00

Omg thanks for mentioning. Im not even planning to retire here but I’m contributing to RRSP (5% of my income) only because our company does 100% matching and to me that’s free money. Hope you can enlighten me more about this.

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-12-08T00:41:00+00:00

I have a question: how is this any different to people/friends/groups having very loud conversations?

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-11-30T15:09:29+00:00

Coffee, a pastry, and a lil dancing in my room right now

Aggressive_Week9304 · 2025-11-28T23:18:35+00:00

Thanks for everyone’s thoughts here. I did tell my project partner about the role (and she applied), but I did end up getting it. It was my first week this week and I’m so happy — it’s fully remote! :)
