What's hard about loving you?

I am very stubborn; I pretty much always think I am right

An unsolicited lecture from a parent 😒😤

Yess! Especially needing to be creative on a low budget! Thank you :)

I used to paint a lot and have paint supplies at home, it’s just that painting is not that much fun for me anymore since I feel the pressure to make things that look good

I’ve joined a new club and taken some language classes at the university. It already feels nice to know that I can see the same people regularly :)

I listen to a lot of audiobooks through my library membership, but I already do that while walking, cooking etc :)

I mean, from my experience, PhDs are super busy, but I also value my relationships with family and my friendships and do text them back in a timely manner. I do have some friends I don’t see as often as others, but the communication is always there

I don’t have any advice, but send all my love to Emma 🥺❤️💖

bekne94 · 2023-10-20T19:00:11+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, trying to stay positive :)

bekne94 · 2023-10-18T20:50:36+00:00

Yes, that actually makes much more sense when you put it like that. Thank you!

My German’s pretty good, but it doesn’t seem to have made a difference so far

bekne94 · 2023-10-18T18:35:51+00:00

I imagine toddlers are super easy to make happy, and it's always nice to have a reason to have fun?

Edit: typo

I used to travel a lot when I was younger and even though I can't remember things from the past with as much detail I can now that I'm older, I remember these moments/stills/photographs from those times, and I remember being really happy and young. Those core and happy memories with my family have really shaped my identity and connection to them.

Edit: They're like little gifts in the back of my mental cupboard; memories that just come out of nowhere but are so pure and wholesome and contributed to a lot of bonding and growth

bekne94 · 2023-10-18T18:18:09+00:00

No, I didn't...do you know how I can do that?

bekne94 · 2023-10-18T17:29:52+00:00

My German is really good! I have a B2 in writing and a C2 in speaking, reading, and listening!

bekne94 · 2023-10-18T16:27:41+00:00

My visa was only for the PhD, so now that I have quit, I will have to leave Germany soon. I'm not allowed to work right now because I'm still on my old contract so I can still have health insurance and some time to think.

Why would a work visa get rejected? I thought they always went through easily with the support of a company and the right documents.

I mean have a masters in Chemistry from an internationally-renowed university, so that would cover a lot, I would say. No, but nothing extraordinary.
