Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Thought I had it all figured out a year ago: had a condo, had pets, had consistent hobbies, and even close to having a decent friend group... crashed down and now I'm trying to "start fresh" again in a new country for less than half a year, no thanks to certain things that happened in the US

Not a completely fresh start since my career is still progressing as usual (one of the few benefits of having a PhD...), but everything else is a reset for me. Heck I went back to living in a "student/intern special" studio again, my pets are now under the custody of my parents, and I have to learn new language(s) (plural because of reasons) from scratch

Still I'm trying the best. I'm quick at adapting so I'm hoping that things can be sorted out in a year or so
