I just learned about "Stop a Douchebag." It's a Russian activist(???) movement that aggressively blocks people from driving on sidewalks, and if the driver won't move or wants a fight, they put a giant sticker on their windshield. It's fun to watch in the sense that it's always fun to watch a wrongdoer get theirs, but god damn. These people get almost hit/fights started/guns pulled on them more times than an episode of COPS, before they even take out the sticker. They're stone cold, but you shouldn't have to be for something as mundane as "This is sidewalk, that is road, have a nice day."

I'm staring at the screen, wondering what to write. Despite having been here for so long, and rattled on about so much, I still struggle with being candid.

Yeah, it's not a safe world, and people who are worth being around (ie aren't just loudmouth jackasses) are usually not sure it's safe to talk about what they actually care about before getting to know people. Only advice I have is be okay with who you are, relax, and give people time.

I sent it before this, but it was curiously similar.

Bleh. Unpleasant situation all around

(TL,DR: I went to a new workplace, was misled as to what impact would this make on my odds of getting a permanent post. Did not get it but was expected to cover temporary post until it suited my employers. Decided to call it quits)

I seem to recall you wanting rather badly to leave America. Do you think your recent experiences will make coming back different this time round?

Also, you’ve been a way for a while. Coming “home” may be like going to another foreign country as a lot of things are going to have changed while you were gone.

Phlegm in my throat made me have a nightmare about swallowing a large piece of glass, which led to me lying half-awake for a few minutes unable to decide if I should try to breathe or move because I couldn't tell if the dream was real or not.

Have you heard about Ulysses syndrome? It spins around how migrants/expats end up feeling like they dont fit either at home or abroad

I asked them all the same questions: “Do you feel home where you are now? Or, do you want to come back?” The answer was always the same: “I don’t feel at home now and I don’t think of my original country as a home either. I can’t feel at home anywhere

So, in contact again with the gal I developed feelings for and who then ghosted me for nearly three weeks. She's really apologetic about how she handled the situation, says she was going through a very dark time the past few weeks, has missed me a lot, and is scared of losing me as a friend.

I made it clear that I was sorely hurt by getting ghosted, that I was willing to be friends again once I'd had time enough to clear my head; but that it'd only work if I knew we could both act like adults, and also that I'm going through a pretty chaotic period of my own and would need some time to deal with that. We've agreed to meet up on the 19th (or thereabouts) to talk things over in person.


And I'm just sitting here realizing that I am definitely going to get myself hurt over this, again. The high road's got a lot of rocks on it.

At least you know what you’re getting into. When I was younger, I’d keep throwing myself into these situations out of some misguided idea that I’d somehow get the girl. You on the other hand are only doing this because you have to.
