I want to move back to Germany.
11 years ago
General
Gahhhhh it's so difficult.
I've lived in England for several years now and I can't deny that I totally love it.
However, whenever I go back to Germany to see my immediate family, I just realise how much I miss it. It's just hard to afford as well. MAN. SO DIFFICULT.
Pros for Germany:
- I generally prefer it
- Better food
- Better job opportunities where I want to be
- Near immediate and German half of my family, could visit weekly (I only visit yearly now)
- Forest
- Boyfriend (hopefully) moving to area from the US soon
- Weather. Perfect four seasons, perfect for me. Makes my mental health a lot better. (Where I live in England is 9 months gray drizzle and I can't stand it. It doesn't even rain properly)
Pros for England:
- Cheaper for my current situation
- Large living space very cheap (renting from family, but this also means it's not completely my space. It's their holiday home, not MY home)
- Easy to get my medication
- Beach
- Super easy access to London
- Many friends and grandmother/aunt/cousins in the country
- Better at English (I'm fluent in both languages but grew up with mostly English so it's a lot easier for me to speak and write especially).
Gosh... What do I do... Now I'm finishing university I really feel like I want to move back right now. I'm thinking I'll probably stay in England another year because my roommate still has a year of uni and we get along really well and have fun together.
I really would like to come back to Germany and get an apartment but I don't know if I can afford it. I have A LOT OF THINGS in my place in England and moving it would be a pain in the arse and require space in my new place. I have way too much stuff. Gonna try and sell lots soon ahhhh.... I could temporarily stay at my parents' house until I find somewhere in Germany, and I'm sure they would let me leave some stuff in England too.
SORRY FOR RAMBLING I'm just sitting here in Germany being sad as hell that I have to go back to lonely gray England again in less than a week. CRIES.
DAMNN IT'S SO HARD. WHAT DO I DOOOO... I would still visit England loads but I just somehow feel really comfortable in Germany.
I guess money is the biggest issue. I need to save a bunch but I have some debts to pay off still so it's like arrghhh. ARGHH.
I JUST WANNA GO BACK TO GERMANY. I want a cute apartment in Oberursel area by the forest and u-bahn.

Life is too short to spend wondering "what if" or "what do to". Do what feels most comfortable for you~ Usually it's the right thing to do.
And if it doesn't go so well, you can always return to where you started. ^^
I'll see what I can do.
It's nice to be somewhere where you can easily get everywhere from. I'm lucky in England I live in the town center with shopping, beach, everything right there and super easy access to bigger cities like London and Manchester by train.
Mit Oberusel wärste ja wenigstens recht dicht an Frankfurt dran. :)
In England wohne ich auch sehr schön am Strand, und im Sommer ist das SUPER schön (vielleicht für die Sommerferien..) aber der Rest des Jahres ist echt schrecklich. Es regnet nicht richtig, alles nur grau und niesel. Das macht echt schlechte Laune! :P Die ganze Zeit will ich nur im Bett liegen!
Ich würde gerne zurückziehen. Hoffentlich könnte ich dann auch mehr deutsche Furries kennenlernen. :P
Deutschland ist wirklich schön, einiges stört hier zwar, aber ich lebe gern hier für meinen Teil.
Vielleicht, hoffentlich, kann ich zurückziehen..
but at the end of the day, you need to do what is best for you,
as long as you are happy it is the main thing
but with how cheap travel is becoming you can still bounce between relitively cheaply
Man. I just love both haha!!
Und was das wohnen betrifft, da ich ein eigenes Haus habe ist das auch recht günstig. :3
In welcher Ecke Deutschlands lebt denn deine Familie?
Muss ich irgendwann einmal direkt besuchen. ^^
Habe es von meinen Vater geerbt, er ist vor fast 15 Jahren gestorben ...
Hätte lieber ihn als das Haus ...
but seriously though, if you make it good and plan ahead, you can probably have less of a hard time living in one country and visiting the other. you can make your trip days sort of little special vacations or rewards even.
Now after thinking about it a bit more, the weather especially in England is so tragic that it would be way easy to just hop on the plane for an hour and go to England when I feel like it and the weather is nice. :P
Like I'm lucky to live in Bournemouth which is SUPER beautiful in the Summer but.... 9 months of the years is literally just miserable, dark drizzle and I cannot stand it ahaha it makes me so sleepy and miserable and just UGHHH
God English weather destroys my body :P I put on so much weight too since while I've lived there!
Ich drück dir die Daumen das alles klappt wie du dir es vorstellst
<33
Ich hab mir auch schon öfter überlegt, ob das Wetter einen Einfluss auf meine Leistungsfähigkeit hat. Und inzwischen bin ich mir sicher, dass es stimmt.
Ich wohne momentan in Bournemouth und bin schon öfters bei London Furmeets gewesen. :D Gehe auch immer zu Confuzzled (würde aber auch gehen wenn ich in Deutschland wohnen würde!)
Ich würde sagen, du gehst dort hin, wo du dich am bequemsten und am besten fühlst. In Deutschland gibt es auch viele Furcons, wie ich gehört habe, darunter ja auch die EF. Ich geh dort aber nie hin, kein Geld und paranoide Eltern, die mir das Geld nicht geben würden.
Wenn es natürlich im Westen Deutschlands ist kann ich dir auch nicht viel darüber sagen, weil ich nie dort war, ich hab nur oftmals gehört, dass hier weniger Geld für gleiche Berufe ist und es im Westen genau andersrum ist.
Holy crap man I haven't seen you around for yeeears!! <333
And lol yeah, long time no see!
Muss gestehen, hatte bislang nicht mal mitbekommen das du überhaupt Deutsch sprichst, peinlich. XD
Wie dem auch sei! Musst natürlich herausfinden was dich am glücklichsten macht. Villeicht kannst du ja 'Probeweise' eine Weile in Deutschland bleiben? Villeicht einen Monat oder so, das könnte helfen heraus zu finden wie du dich hier fühlst, vorallem wenn auch ein Alltag vorhand ist und es nicht nur ein Besuch ist. :)
