All Your Relationships Will End, And It’s Fine
You will be sad, but it’s the only way things can end.
I’ve been in the middle of some interesting times these past weeks.
Professionally good and bad — money is a major concern as my Medium income dried up at the end of September. I still haven’t been able to solve this issue, and I’m still not sure if it’s worth spending more time here.
On the other hand, I’m also feeling better and more creative than ever thanks to my standup career going really well. I finished off this amazing year of fully diving in to follow my dreams with an actual one-hour show a week ago. Can you believe I did that? I still can’t.
Through all this it’s my love life, though, that’s been on a bit of a roller coaster.
Stop the Guilt
My boyfriend is a recent immigrant from Colombia. He came to Buenos Aires about two years ago to study and build himself a better future, but since it was his first time living abroad, his expectations were a little too high.
As soon as I met him, I told him he should be prepared to see some tough times. It’s hard to build a life in a new country, and your first years will likely turn out to be a blur. You have to fight for everything, and he wasn’t prepared to do it.
