I am currently back home in Romania after a long, long ride. I arrived in town at around 12 PM local time after an eleven-hour drive, and fatigue almost conquered me on the way back home. I survived heroically, and after a couple of hours of not-so-good sleep, I got out. I had to wash the car and install a screen protector on my phone.
The only thing that worked out almost perfectly was washing the car, as it seems that the screen protector is a joke, a $12 joke that will require some talks with the shop owner where I installed the damn screen protector.
I had mixed feelings leaving Austria and had mixed feelings entering the country as well. I knew from the beginning I wasn't staying there long term; it was supposed to be just a visit to my parents, and that's what it turned out to be, although I could have stayed longer.
I got used to the country relatively fast. I didn't manage to get used to the German dialect the people were speaking in that area, but other than that, I liked how life went by over there. If I ever reach financial independence, I'll probably move there.
I'll probably move there even without reaching that goal... We'll see. Getting out of the country, though, gives you a lot of contrast, and the way I see it, the contrast is high. We are so far behind with so many things.
I did not see this coming, but for the past few months, I started disliking my country and most of the people and their mentality a lot. I was so attached and fine with it for a few good years, but I realize now that Romania is no longer the wild west we once loved for the freedom it offered. It is not a technological hub, and we can't say either that we're living at a high level of consciousness.
I feel a bit rootless, and it's definitely no one to be blamed for that other than myself. I need to find clarity, to give my life purpose, and enjoy my living once again. Maybe as the bull market advances, this will take shape, as money usually makes some of the great stuff become greener. I need a change, though, and I need it soon.
I also need a few good hours of sleep, as I haven't had much last night (probably 4 hours of sleep in the past 24 hours). Thus, I will make this post a short one. I had so much to write about today and was thinking at some point in wrapping all that up in one post, but my energy is low.
Anyway... I hope you like the pics from this post. I wish you all a great day, and see ya all tomorrow.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
