A lot of stress, no worries
Right now I am super busy at work and with planning our wedding, which is in two weeks! Even if there always is someone that reminds you of that whole Greencard thing or asks questions about it, I currently simply have no time to worry about anything besides work and the wedding. Actually this is some kind of a nice change, because in the last weeks I worried like crazy about everything and had crazy nightmares.
Besides stress I luckily do have the best medicine against emmigration worries you can have: my best friend Petra. Petra moved to London three years ago with one suitcase and only a bit of money in her pockets and now is really happy, has a nice life and is some kind of a London girl. Petra always gets me down on earth when my worries get outrageous. She always tells me that if you wanna do this real hard and if you bring a few requirements with you everything will work out fine.
They should only feature people like Petra on those emmigration shows on TV. She didn’t move abroad blue-eyed and didn’t give up when the times were hard. This is what I call a real emmigrant! Sometimes I wish to be more like Petra. She is so open-minded and cool about everything – I sometimes could use a bit of her character to make my life easier and get rid of some things that make it hard for me all the time.
Even if I am not Petra, I right now think that we are on a good way to achieve a happy and good life abroad, too. And the best thing is that even if I will move a thousand miles further away from my best friend, I will always have her by my side – especially when I need some friendly emmigration advice!
