idk if anyone's really gonna read this but i kinda just need to tap for a minute. i met this girl, and i met her like years ago and i fell inlove with her. fast forward to this year, i see her and I'm just like 'damn, she just as pretty as the day i first seen her' so i follow her on TikTok after like a month of stalking and she follows me back. we wasn't really texting until like a few days later with she posted her best friend saying how much she loved her; i hearted it and replied "this is so sweet; she's so pretty" to start a convo. a few minutes later, she replied "she's so twin lmao" and we started to talk as friends because she had a girlfriend. fast forward again like a day later, my best friend had to come clean about something. she tells me that one of her and this girls mutual friends told her about how the girl believes i like her and wants to 'play with my emotions'. at first i felt like i was in power because since i already knew, i could play her. a few minutes later, i sob. and sob. and sob. so fucking hard. i really liked this girl and she just wants to play me? and how did she find out i liked her? who snitched? well we are kinda playing eachother back and forth till she posts something on her story saying 'get out my profile views. i don't want you' but she blocked out the username. she forgot to cover the last thing in the username, which was a period and it matched my username. i guess she saw that i saw it so she took it down and texted me 'that was about my friend. i wanted to make her mad' i said 'ik it was about me, no need to apologize 😭' and she apologized to me and i left her in delivered for a few hours before responding 'ok' then, i post a story like two days later with the song 'hello?' from clairo (great song btw) and the part thats like 'one click away click away' and i blocked out everything but the typed out message in the text bar that said 'you make me wanna kms. i fucking hate you u cunt' and she replied to it (it was about her) saying 'dang who dis about' i replied "some girl who js wanna mess around and not lock in" (she knows im wlw) and she said oh. then, she posts something today saying 'your chill but not my type. sorry i don't wanna mess with u' on her story with no context. i knew it was about me so i texted her about it. at first she acts clueless and deleted the story but after a few texts, we both talk about it. i tell her she's just not my type and she said 'well ive just heard around that you do like me' and i told her 'i fw studs.' and she said "oh." backtrack, she asked me on the 2nd day of us being friends 'you like me?' and i was like "wtf.?" and she said 'i heard it somewhere' and j told her i like studs and then my very loving, gorgeous, best friend, shows me a screenshot that their mutual friend (ik this is complicated but stay with me) sent to her, (the girl im taking bout is the one saying this) "she likes studs 🤷♀️🤷♀️" and repeats her name over and over until she replied. so i don't understand why she was texting that and the context or the emotions behind that. earlier today, i asked her 'how are you and [GF's NAME] ?.?" and she said they broke up bcuz they wasn't talking n shit and they were both too busy and going through a lot. something in my gut told me she was lying because of what i previously knew. but yeah. i needed to kinda debrief before i ended up kms 🤣😭😭🤣. sorry for the rant. small town drama lmfao 😭
Sometimes a part of me is like "fuck that, don't make the same mistake twice." But then I'm like "Oh wait we've been through a lot together" and it's annoying and I'm tired of people proving me wrong and showing me why I shouldn't trust them.
There are days when I wish I would have done a little more research before I came here. This post is for you, impulsive adventure seeker, think about these things before you make your final decision.
Let me start off by saying the family I work for is okay. They have done a lot for me and have allowed me to have this experience and for those things, I am very thankful. However, I feel that sometimes that both sides did not do their research and this has led to some issues.
This feeling does not happen often, but it happens. I really don't ask the family for anything if I can help it or if I can, I ask someone else because this feeling is terrible. Occasionally, I need to have something translated (usually for my own health in the Pharmacy) or I need help to find something or someone very specific and I can't avoid asking. People who live in large cities don't have this issue because you can find and connect with anyone if you have the will to. In this small town, there are not many people I can rely on. One thing I should have thought about before coming here was the transportation situation. In the States I have a car, but I prefer to be able to walk to places. In Kiskoros, no one seems to understand the transportation system (probably because they all have cars) and it is only in Hungarian. If I want to visit another city, I just don't. I should have worked this issue out or asked about it before I got here, but not being from a small town myself, I had no idea it would be this way.
When I got here, I had to try to figure everything out myself, not knowing the language or anybody here. It would have been so helpful to have a tour or to be told where to get certain things. Since you can't just go to one shop to get everything you need and you need to visit different little shops, it would have been nice to know where they are. I have been here over a year and I just found out last week where I can get chicken in walking distance of my flat. Before I was walking 20 minutes to Tesco and carrying huge bags of stuff home and effectively wrecking my back. Having a family that is supportive to you, especially in the first few months you are with them, will make a world of difference. If your job situation is something like mine, make sure you ask the family if they will be there for you in times of need.
One thing just to remember to do is write up some sort of document stating the "rules" of your employment. Even if your employer is not asking you to stay for a year or more, it is a good idea to have everything in writing so that each party knows what is expected of them. I wish that I had some sort of paper to show so I don't have to go off of my memory and what we agreed on in the beginning. It's a problem because they might not remember it the same way as I do and then there is conflict that I would like to avoid considering they are the only family I regularly converse with and see (and they give me my paycheck!). I am in a tough position, but learn from my mistakes because you don't have to be!
This job has brought me so many great things (see my other posts if you haven't already!), but the most important thing is to remember to do your research before you accept a job out in the middle of nowheresville and read my (hopefully) helpful blog and ask questions.
So people wanna go up to my parents & feel the need to tell them every lil thing that I do or say.
like WTFUCK. you aint got not life or something ? you aint got nothing else to fuckin talk bout ? FUCK OFF. im so glad im not at home right now. people dont understand that i am so SHELTERED when im at home. im not allowed to do anything, or say anything. thats why i do the things i do. but FUCK, i dont do anything bad ! i just dont tell my parents some things because they DONT accept it. ok, if thats bad, then FUCK IT. its bad. but do you realllllyyyy have TO FUCKIN TELL MY PARENTS EVERYTHINGGG?!
