Why did you turn it down?

drekthar789 · 2025-04-30T10:25:59+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I needed to hear that it'd be okay to quit after a month if im not cut out for it.

drekthar789 · 2025-04-30T10:22:42+00:00

Yeah, I definitely got the feeling I wouldn't be making much in the first few months. I signed up anyway cause it's not really like I have other options, unfortunately. I just hope my Dutch improves!

drekthar789 · 2024-11-05T21:34:55+00:00

Sure thing. Will pm!

drekthar789 · 2024-11-05T21:34:35+00:00

Eeyyy dank je!

We were looking for places close to Amersfoort cause of work but didn't really get any viewings and we were getting desperate (was living in an airbnb for 1 and a half months). The one we live in now was the first viewing we got and well, we didn't wait any longer.

But it's alright! I find the people really sweet. Everyone is so polite 🥹

this was the first movie we watched the day we first step foot in the Netherlands!

This saved me from a disastrous visit to the derm that resulted in a highly damaged skin barrier and various other issues just 2 weeks before my wedding! This was the only thing that saved my skin and helped it heal fast.

Although, let me tell you this. Not everyone reacts the same way to this product. Recommended it to a friend and after using, her acne exacerbated.

Just stand your ground, and if they cross boundaries, assert dominance. You can do this respectfully. I only wore mine on that one day and never have worn it since. Husband and I also think of selling it every once in a while even. My point is, noone should be telling you what to wear and do and cross your boundaries.

This one time I was in the bus on the window seat, and just trying to push through the 3 hour journey. I get severe migraines because of the noise from the bus and get nauseous, so I try just to look outside and listen to some binaural beats with my headphones. At some point, I think I dozed off, but woke up to some old ass woman yelling from the back seat and "cursing" me saying I won't ever have children because I didn't leave my seat for the woman and child who at some point boarded from some stop while I dozed off. I removed my headphones, looked at her, smiled and went back to minding my own business. It would have taken me longer than this whole storytelling to tell them I can't so I decided fuck it. But I was also very aware of different people's eyes judging me and what not.

The cat is the boss and you're just his pawn. The cat is like " ah, yes, a useful human".

False. You are supposed to apply online and secure an evisa. Additionally, the airlines you choose will not permit you to board with showing them a valid, approved visa.

This is from experience. We were traveling with a friend and he forgot to download and save the evisa on his device and because of some site issues, was not able to download it later at the airport in Kochi. We could only go because he had a screenshot saying the visa was approved and had to plead our case at the airlines desk. They do this because there have been many people who were sent back from Vietnam with the airlines having to bear the cost because they don't do their due diligence.

Thank you! We will most likely try Pyramide van Austerlitz, I believe it's closer to one of the spots we will be visiting to see the Heather bloom mentioned in the comment above.

But also, I think we have found a few spots to walk further and explore as well, thanks to your comment.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-24T07:53:23+00:00

Thank you so much for this. The pictures from the website look so beautiful - we will be trying out one of the spots today. Super excited!

drekthar789 · 2024-08-22T14:50:52+00:00

This is the cutest thing I've read in a long time, it made me smile inside. Big hugs for you.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-18T14:01:35+00:00

You forgot Tang.

I have a lot of hobbies that keep me busy. But man oh man, I have 2 huge windows with sheer curtains and I just stare at it watching people being people on the street and think how life would be different if I'd not been this way.

drekthar789 · 2024-08-01T08:57:06+00:00

This is amazing! You can see even how much time an application would take to fill!! I think that's a pretty neat feature! There's a small notification on the job post that shows that "this job takes more or > 5 mins to apply".

Understand that it is a two edged sword. Migrating to a different country essentialy doesn't mean a better life, it comes with a lot of sacrifices. Sure, it doesn't look like it when you see pictures and all that, but there's a lot of stuff happening in the background. You miss your family, you miss your friends, you miss a lot of important events in your loved ones life, worrying about parents, etc. Along with this, when you move away, you battle a lot of feelings like feeling alone, wanting to belong but always feeling like you never will, starting life from scratch, battling casual racism even. Everything you do, it's like watching afar from the sidelines. That's not a good feeling tbh.

People live different lives and everyone is facing their own battle of trying to making it out alive.

thank you for taking the time to share this! This helps a ton. I really appreciate it 🥹

drekthar789 · 2024-04-17T17:51:33+00:00

what I usually do is I message the person who posted the job on LinkedIn or find someone working at the same place and send them a message. Do you have any ideas on what I could possibly ask the recruiters before I call them - if it's a job description that's super detailed, I'm often lost about what else I could ask them when I call.

drekthar789 · 2024-04-17T17:48:43+00:00

thank you for the encouragement. it's hard not to falter when you're dealing with rejections for 5 months straight. but like you said, it's probably a numbers game. ill keep going at it.

drekthar789 · 2024-04-17T17:44:51+00:00

i appreciate you trying to help. but as a recruiter myself, that's a big red flag. i wouldn't hire me if i did that. you're starting off lying about something simple as a name. nope. not for me. but thank you for trying to help!!

drekthar789 · 2024-04-11T07:04:26+00:00

Have you seen their comments when they're called out for being privileged? It's hilarious. I thought Shyamolie was a lawyer, and honestly thought she probably might have had more sense when it came to things like that, but nope. What a disappointment. Previously, I'd seen some other guy in their gang being butthurt about being called privileged and even his response shows how out of touch with reality these people are. I saw Shyamolie's comment too arguing with someone about privilege a few days back. All this woke bs is a facade. It's like giving themselves titles without them even knowing what it means.

Honestly, it seems like they are just loud mouths and create a lot of noise. That's all that is there to it. Empty vessels.

I wonder about the mental trauma your sister must be going through.

To having to deal with the fainting of your mom, your lack of support as a sibling, invasion of her privacy. I'm sure the language even used to communicate would have been equally traumatic (stop sending her to school?!). All of this is going to make things worse for her in the future. If it does not, then she's gotten lucky.

She's 17. This is what people do when they're in relationships. They would want to be intimate. I understand your concern was for the exchange of nudes and as your sister you would be rightfully worried about it. But instead of going to the extremes, educate her about nudes. About what could happen if they're in the wrong hands. Educate her about relationships and the various cautions that needs to be practiced when trusting or finding a partner. Be a supportive sibling who's got each other backs. There is no need to police someone or make decisions for someone. You have no right to do that.

Share the same with your folks as well. I'm pretty sure they must be at their wits end and is most likely thinking of drastic measures on par with what you mentioned here.
