Do I miss my old life in Mexico?

[@MaddieGold]

I found it SO interesting to compare the experiences I was having for the first time ever in 2018 as a Mexico newbie to my life now, 4 years later. It was also fascinating to have the opportunity to compare prices in 2018 to the 2022 cost of living in Guadalajara. 🤓 What do you think of this video?

I think this was a very good video. I also watch no time to be sad.

[@tcb1017]

Yes, you said Matt. But, and this is a grande big but if you have really loved someone deap and you get stumped or bumped or dumped for some their life will never be the same. But for most of us ok, we move on. Great, that Maddie is doing ok but I can see that she miss her Love Jordan. I'm sure she then thought that Jordan was going to be her lifetime partner and then Jordan dropped a sad bombshell on her saying he don't want kids and bailed out. Ok, it is what it is

So Ana, sounds like you have had some issues also with my comments in the past so I don't know what you mean but that's ok. Yes, I respond and made comments to many vloggers who are on you tube. From what I understand, that what they want or ? Also, why try to be or make a correct answer and what is that anyway so anway, enough said here now. I'm just a human being with a life just like you are also so Ana relax, I'm fine and I wish you also the best. Take care now. stay safe and enjoy our holiday the 4th !

[@gardensofthegods]

But it can feel weird too . I remember one time years ago a friend and I went to the last show on a foggy night and there were only two other people in the whole large theater , which also had a balcony section up in the back . I don't know if you've ever seen the movie with Nicole Kidman called The Others ... it can be a pretty creepy movie and when it got to the scariest parts , just being there in that empty theater added to the spookiness haha .

Such a great video, Maddie! It's so nice to see you smiling, laughing & full of energy again. Stay weird, stay strong, move forward. I'm leaving Mexico on July 27th. Headed back to SE Asia, specifically Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, Borneo. It is English speaking so, I won't have nearly the issues there as I have here. Having to update my address or apply for an RFC number has caused me to go off the deep end & say, enough is enough! I've had it with trying to learn & retain Spanish. I can read an instruction manual on how to rebuild an engine & 10 years later, I can remember every step. Language learning & retention is like pulling teeth. I cannot explain how much anxiety I have felt in the last month when I have been trying to fill in the form to update my address plus, just reading about the RFC procedure has compounded the frustration. I have gone from a highly functioning, independent, Canadian female to feeling like a disempowered 6 year old child. I hate that feeling. Today, I woke up happy so, that is how I know I've made the right decision. You are welcome to come visit any time you need a break/change.
