I have recently come back home, to Romania. To most of the people coming back home would be a blessing, it would mean meet all the loved ones, the relatives, get back to the old style of life and so on.
Well, sorry to break the circle, but for me the return wasn’t a delight, unfortunately. I know that re-adapting is not supposed to be easy, they say it takes time and only after a while you manage to find your place again, to make the changes be something good, to find the good side of the things and embrace the NEW. No one ever told me it would be this hard, I had no clue I would be blown away by everything: the noise, the agitation, the pollution, the crazy traffic, the weird people, the lack of good sense and the – all in all- called WILDNESS. I took all the needed protection measures: I stayed inside, I tried to do something everyday that would stop me from thinking. It did not work, at all! Today for example I just got of for some hours, it took some courage to make up my mind, but I did it in the end, I knew I had to do it. So, in two hours I saw two accidents, I saw people who did not take precaution measures, who got out the car and started yelling and getting angry. Lots of drama, Romanian drama! And God knows we have a lot of it, people seem to enjoy it day by day and they can’t live without. To me… it is just useless. I have learned a lot of lessons during my staying abroad, I have seen a different system that works best, I met people who had goals and who knew exactly what they want from life.
Here everything is a mess, they all struggle to make a living, but they do not actually know what they are doing, they do not actually try. Sadly, this phenomenon is called laziness! And most of the people suffer from it. They usually blame it on the weather, or…on the system, or on the other people. No one ever knows who’s fault it is if something bad happens!But someone did it, of course! The answer is they do it themselves, but they will never have the strength to agree, to admit it.
Here people can say a lot of things, they usually promise all your ears want to hear, I have to say it can sound pretty promising, but in the end nothing happens. You wait and you wait…and nothing! You only get dissapointed, day by day, hour by hour, you wait for something good to happen, wishing that some of them would get back to their senses. Stop dreaming! Lost cause!
If someone says that they will bring you something tomorrow, something that is rightfully yours, of course, that belongs to you, you will never see it happening. Always remember to ask about the month or the year they are referring to, it might be vital in case you really count on that object.
If a family member promises that they would help you with something you really need help with, also mentioning it will happen tomorrow, don’t buy it. They would probably not even call and the next time you will talk- because you call or you meet randomly,they will say they’ve been so busy that you can’t imagine.
If you are about to do something important, like presenting something and you even have a fixed date… surprise!It won’t happen, they won’t even let you know that things have changed, you will have to figure out that yourself.
If something needs to be said, they won’t say it, if you tell them something, asking them to think logical or to act mature, nothing will happen!
There is no way out since everyone is hiding their heads in the sand, pretending everything is OK. They all love the ostrich position! Do you?!?!
p.s. The rest of the world doesn’t, that’s why they even grow ostrichs in farms:)
Wake up people, the clock is ticking!
