Expat Poles swearing allegiance to the US - how did you feel? [157]
So someone asked you why you continue to stay in Poland.....and you don't even know why.
I know why but it has nothing to do with material things. I like living in Poland,I like Polish mentality, I like to be close with family and friends.
You could live better in other countries, provide for yourself better, give your children or future children a better life, have a better/easier lifestyle, yet you just can't seem to pull yourself away.
I said easier not better.Yes,I could get better money,maybe a better job (just maybe bcs I have humanistic mind and good international jobs are usually for ppl with degree in science),but that's not all.As for a lifestyle...I don't know if it would be easier or better.Children...even if we assume that life in other country is better now who can give me a guarantee that it will be also a better place for my children?
Deep, incredibly dependent emotional attachments to mommy and daddy to the point where they'll give themselves along with their children a life several steps down from what it could be, all so they can eat mom's pierogi and piernik.
You don't choose what your feelings are.But even if we could choose it's a matter of priorities.For me family is really important and I like to be close to them.
Even when I was 16 or 17 I thought that I'll go abroad but only for a year or two.I like to walk through my town and think that every place is familiar,that everything brings memories.
I'll never understand it but if that's the life you choose, you must accept the consequences.
I know that my decisions have their consequences and it's not like I don't think what the pros and coins are. Maybe I'll change my mind someday but as for now...I'm happy that I'm living in Poland.
P.S. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I'm not here everyday.
