You know how some people think moving to a new place will magically solve all their problems?
New country, new me.
But she might have skipped over some minor details, like, I dont know, visiting first?
Researching the cost of living?
Or at least Googling Australia.
So, who is this jet-setter?
Well, shes got a history of…lets say living in the moment.
Her vibe is pretty much just YOLO meets no long-term plans.
Her friends have tried steering her toward adulting basics, but its like giving advice to a brick wall.
I dont know if anyone ever told you, but castles cost money.
So, after just one month, the Aussie dream hit her like a kangaroo on a mission.
Turns out, Australia isnt exactly the cheap paradise shed imagined.
Shes broke, lonely, and realizing that sunshine doesnt pay the rent.
Oh, and about that $600 bleach job she got before moving?
Yeah, she hates it.
Honestly, its kind of poetic, just like her approach to life: cut first, then measure.
But some people take it to the next level.
Dont get me wrong, I get itdreaming of a fresh start is tempting.
Who hasnt wanted to ditch their problems and run to a tropical beach?
But heres the catch: no matter where you go, you bring yourself along.
Your habits, your mindset, your issuesthey all hop on that flight with you.
Escapismfeels good in the moment, especially when lifes overwhelming, but eventually, reality catches up.
What some people forget is that you dont actually escape yourself, even if you move across the world.
Escaping your problems doesnt solve them, it just gives them a new zip code.
What do you think of this story?
Would you stick by a friend like this, or let them figure things out solo?
