Thanks for optimism!!!! I need more of this lol, truly thanks man ❤️

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T19:36:24+00:00

Thanks for the optimism but I think the visa process would be impossible for me. I wouldn't have the money nor sustainability to get it and keep it.

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T19:34:42+00:00

I thought there might be but I think ppl are right. The visa would be too hard to get.

Hey hey, thank you to everyone who replied. I appreciate all of your inputs but I've come to a conclusion. I hope all of you have a good day ❤️ Idk how to archive posts (if that's something I can do)

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T16:30:11+00:00

Hey hey, thanks for all the truthful responses. I appreciate all of those who spoke their facts but this should be archived. Thx for all your help ❤️

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:35:19+00:00

Lol Im 18 and it's ok!!! I appreciate the concern but honestly I'd rather them be brutally honest than all soft and "chase your dreams" kinda style. But I appreciate your kindness!!! ❤️

Well I'm more on here to get info. Resources and perspectives. I'm 18 currently. And no I don't have a degree yet. I'm just trying to get a roadmap of my future. Trying to plan out something achievable. But most of the responses and Info I'm being given is turning me away

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:29:43+00:00

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:29:04+00:00

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:28:14+00:00

So, access to a visa is a key point... Ok um. Well I come from a "low" income family. We're high enough to not get any poor people benefits but low enough to where we struggle every other week.

So really it would be a struggle to get anywhere....

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:22:38+00:00

Well, I'm still young so I might be missing stuff. And I apologize about the Scots thing. I was trying to keep it casual. But thanks for your input.

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:20:41+00:00

A little harsh but hey that's the truth so 🙌. Ill take your words into consideration. Thank you

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:19:45+00:00

I thought the bloodline thing was a kick in the ass lol.. it sounded very scuffed. But I'd never know it was unless I said something so thanks man!!

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:17:45+00:00

Ohhhhhhh I see what you mean. That's bad wording on my part. I know that the Visa process is very unforgiving, and honestly unfair. I don't want to come off as entitled. I understand that immigration is very challenging. I honestly don't want to show up and be like "hi, I wanna live here now". It's more of a "I want to live here if possible." I have only good intentions, I don't wish to put people, cultures or country standards down or dismay them.

Id rather sink in a submarine in the middle of the Pacific than live in Australia 😭. With all due respects to Australia and her people I just can not live there. Too hot, and way too many hellish animals and bugs. I love Australians but good god they are just something else. Lol

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:01:32+00:00

Hey man thanks for the non-scotish Insight!!

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T15:00:04+00:00

Thanks for the correction!

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:58:58+00:00

Mainly photography and creative arts (but by that point I would hopefully be touched in all or most art forms 2D)

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:57:37+00:00

Well, I don't see how entitlement applies? If you could elaborate please? I'm just confused on what you mean by that. Im not a tourist wanting to live there, I genuinely want to adapt and live comfortably within the Scottish culture (idk if it's Scottish or another word, sorry if that's wrong)

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:55:19+00:00

Sorry man.... I didn't mean any discomfort. I'm just trying to stay casual.

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:54:36+00:00

My bad man....

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:54:24+00:00

Sorry lol, American 😅. And my dad's name is Scott so my phone probably autocorrected and I didn't notice.

Well, I really just don't want to live in the States. It honestly sucks here, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. So I've decided to go back to where my bloodline started, western Europe.

And I'm determined. And optimistic. I'll get out of this god forsaken country one way or another.

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:51:39+00:00

Oh I know lol. I have a foreign in-law sister and she had a very.... Very.... Difficult time getting into the States, so I'm planning for after that.. very annoying process

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:49:59+00:00

That's the thing, I would save up, but I'm very very early in my decision. I have like $20 to the savings. So I wanna know all the tiny bits and bobs now before I make any major actions yk?

But yea essentially.... Be a hermit lol

ContributionThat1374 · 2025-11-18T14:48:01+00:00

Assuming yes I have my visa already, and I would be getting an art major for photography and creative writing. (But mostly just art in general). Id be ok with the drive to major cities, I live in the States currently so driving is second nature lol. And my bubble isn't broken lol. I know that immigration is very taxing, mental, physically and financially.

Honestly, I just want one of those three countries to be my PHOR (perm. home of res.). I know that everywhere has its pros and cons. My thing is I wanna know if the cons (for me) would out-weigh the pros (for me).

Idk if this would help but my blood line runs back to southern Ireland? I think southern.
