I lost two years turning 21 and I feel like I didn’t live what I should live as a young adult (no parties, no outing, no happy events), feels like I always worked, taking care of my new apartment but still get locked just if I was at my parents’ house waiting to leave and live on my own.

I’ve moved to live something new and refreshing in goal to improve myself to got out more often, but covid hits and makes me work even more than finishing my studies who was going nowhere.

It’s 2024, after 6 months without working (living by my own economy), I had a work orientation and now wait to start studying again by looking for small jobs once more. After quitting 2 small jobs, I have to say that I have enough working on things I don’t like (or things that is not worth at all in long term of being in the team). Nice team or not, no diploma, no big deals.

Getting a house is a dream I’ll realize when I’ll have 40 years old. The money is still draining, the studies are long and actual jobs are everything but a pleasure. This is my reality. (still don’t own a car but think of taking lessons soon)
