Unemployment is something I was struggling with the whole of 2018. I wrote over 100 applications and went to more than 20 job interviews. After six months it finally paid off and I was offered my dream job. Bummer: As this dream job is not in my home country I am now bound to wait […]
There is one thing I never really understood about friendships and about expectations in friendships (or every type of relationship between two people): Why am I not supposed to see or mention bad characteristics/behaviour/etc.?
