Think I'm gonna set it as an official goal for myself to move to the other side of the Atlantic within now and 5-8 years. This has been on my mind since I was a kid - but life is pulling me in the directions again in ways. Also, I feel kinda lonesome in Europe, these generally are not my people and it feels like I'm stuck in a hamlet on some days. sure, I could opt for living in a big European city: Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona. But idk if that would make the cut. There is something about North-America that draws me in, and always had.

It all feels very idealistic still. But I'd been orientating on immigration procedures to either Canada or the US. I want to take this very slow, because I have a dog here, but also because getting an immigration visa / foreign passport in either one of those places will be a very time-consuming and troubling process. And I want to make sure it's all mapped out rationally and well.

First step is finetuning my English. I've been making progress in that lately, happily. then building a solid American network thru temporary work in either Canada or the US. I plan to do the latter in 1-3 years from now. I'm excited to see where this will bring me :)

#personal #this one is big #but well thought-through. lots of orientating and informing myself currently. also on which country has easier access to me as a foreigner #I can't stay here in dreary and narrow-minded smol Holland. it'll kill the spirit : ) I crave more space + more social life + more adventur #Alternatively I wanna live in a big european city as aforementioned -#But in that case you'll always have the european nano culture clash (language/cultural identity) sadly #*adventure #gotta find out how to turn myself into a maximum value-adder to the north-american job market lol -#but I think of embassy jobs within the communications field :)

This is your brief reminder for the benefit of the new people who don't know about the dental trauma I've been dealing with for the last two years, but I don't need you telling me my tooth pain is from lack of oral hygiene. I do and have in fact always taken very good care of my teeth. I've always brushed, I've always flossed, I've always gone to the dentist.

That didn't stop me from ending up with a jaw bone infection that spanned the whole left side of my face and caused nerve necrosis and lasting damage which will likely never fully heal. I spent 2016 in a drugged haze as the nerves in my face died and no one believed me until I found a holistic dentist who did. It took two years of constant treatment to clear it out. I only just got the all clear last month.

Part of this is that I have genetic problems. But the largest contributing factor was that I suffered major medical abuse at the hands of a dentist who used contaminated materials to make amalgam fillings which were recently found out to contain higher levels of mercury than is allowed, and 3 strains of bacteria not normally found in the mouth were found in the nerve pulp of an extracted tooth that got sent away for pathology analysis. The cdc actually became involved.

So while I'm sure the few of you who came into my inbox suggesting I need to use a salt water rinse for gum disease meant well, it's not helpful. I'm not angry or upset at you. I'm just letting you and anyone else know who doesn't know, that suggesting I need to floss more and rinse my mouth out with salt water, is actually very upsetting for me.

Please don't do it.

Thank you.
