What Should I Do?-pscnacional20

By pscnacional20 August 13, 2020 11 answers Last updated August 13, 2020

I am an 18 year old girl. I have always wanted to study abroad, so I plan to do so. Also to live .. My mother supports me in this. The problem is that my grandparents don't. I love my homeland very much, but not the country and I think I will be much better there. Is there something wrong with that? I don't want to disappoint my grandfather the most, but this is my big dream. What would you do? Many people tell me that this is how I betray Bulgaria .. :( I'm sorry that I wrote it so scattered.

   that you are betraying Bulgaria sounds absurd, don't you remember ?! no one can tell you where to go and how to live your life. if someone thinks that this is a betrayal, to stay in Bulgaria, no one makes him go somewhere by force. but you have dreams. follow them. if all your life you stand where you don't belong, just because someone says so and you don't want to disappoint someone, you hinder yourself and your development. if you want to go somewhere so much - do it without thinking who will say what. just think about yourself and where you will be happy.

   Nonsense! You do not betray anything and anyone, you will be true to yourself! Do not follow the dreams and hopes of others, no matter how much they are loved, because you will live your life. You will be happy or not. Neither your grandfather, nor anyone else will experience your disappointments, failures / successes, etc. The country has long betrayed both my generation and yours. Many misunderstood nationalism is spreading in Bulgaria, usually by people without choice. I also love Bulgaria, nature, the sentimental memories of the past .... I have no particular reason to respect the nation and even less will I "lie down" on old historical laurels, amid misery, corruption, lawlessness, how much to scream the family. I can do it from afar, I am about 4000 km away and I have no intention of returning. Make your choice for your life! Your grandfather will accept it, in the end he has lived his life, according to his understandings, you have the same right. The rest, some people, who tells you what, let them talk to each other, a typical Bulgarian trait is set aside to advise or judge lightly, then everyone in their house, with their life, not yours. And so they tried to dissuade me, even ordinary acquaintances, the last time I went to Bulgaria, a neighbor told me that I had betrayed my homeland;)))))) laughter! I asked him what he had done for his country, except that every night he poured himself a pint of brandy and sought an audience for his nationalist efforts. He just looks at me evil and wants to seek solace (the bottle). So, make the decisions for your life so that you know that you are following your dreams and goals. Your happiness.

   It's not bad to have dreams, don't think it's so easy to be accepted to a university abroad

   Follow your dreams! The relatives, grandparents, may be a little selfish. After all, they are old people and things look different for them. You know that grandchildren are the nicest. Follow your dreams while you are young. It is not known what will happen in years to come - you can decide to return and stay here, you can settle down and stay there forever .... Whatever you do will be right once your decision is yours. I wish you success!

   I'm amazed at your way of thinking. You're not sure about yourself, that's the whole truth. If you really wanted to go abroad, you wouldn't care about ANYONE's opinion at all. My mother doesn't support me either, but don't you think she shines on me? = D My life is mine, respectively the elections. And from grandparents, apart from criticism, I don't know what else you hope to hear. What do you listen to them at all ...

   Go and try. Your grandparents have no right not to support you because they have lived their lives and now it is your turn to decide what to do. Act, even if you fail or don't like it, it's not bad. The bad thing is that you haven't tried, because you will really blame yourself for it and you will regret it. At your age, I traveled the world a lot. I thought I'd stay there. After all, I orientated myself in Bulgaria. For me, abroad is a wonderful place for an excursion, but my place is here with my relatives. Look, for many others it is not so and there is nothing wrong with that. Your life is one. Think now.

   It is sad that the brains are running out of Bulgaria ... And they are right - they will not have a job here, nor if they have one, it will be normally paid. Girl, run! Run while you're young! / I'm crying as I write this. / I have no words! Because I love the Motherland, but not the state!

   Go and not be influenced by elderly relatives, they should be respected, but that's it. I will give you an example with my grandfather, who is already 81 years old, to be alive and healthy, but soon I was very disappointed in him because he showed his real face. My grandfather voted for the BSP all his life, although he has not seen anything from this party, he is retired and has a garden, no property, there is only one house that has no running water and sewerage. He has been taught to work like an ox, producing vegetables, with a lot of help from my mother, to whom he does not acknowledge her work, but boasts that he does everything himself, although at least 60-70% of everything is done by my mother, and he he just steals the produce and goes to the market and takes the money. This year, not pleasant things happened in the family, which even made me depressed, but anyway, I'm already recovering, but I was very disappointed, I was even disgusted by my grandfather's behavior. Instead of at least supporting my mother, because something happened that shook us all, even the whole city learned that, thanks to my grandfather, he made a living, poor no one thought of him, only where he would not look for a mother me, and my uncle-son never, working alone in the garden, knew nothing about what was happening in our so-called family, although he knows everything because I roared as a child in front of him, etc ... I always knew that my grandfather was selfish, but not to such an extent, I was just disgusted by his hypocrisy. So look at your life, because then no one will look at you if you think only of others and you will not even receive gratitude, as happened in my case. At the moment I am in such a situation that I even often think why I live ....

   I support 11 - I also wanted to study abroad, then we were not even in the EU and everyone kept telling me how I could not - when I found a job I already had a VISA, our people went crazy - I was going to be a prostitute. I chose my partakeshi 40 euros. money saved and earned by ME and I left. And I'm not sorry! It is true that I worked like an ox, but I graduated from a very prestigious university and today all the doors are open for me. Then I married an enterprising man and we went home to Bulgaria with ideas, CAPITAL - my parents grunted again, how could - Bulgaria like this and like that - well, I swim AGAINST the current, and if I listened to my parents today to be a seamstress in a workshop with BGN 300 patch. The year is 2014 - it took me exactly 12 years to realize my dreams. Today we have a large house in a prestigious Sofia district, a house on Pirotska with a tenant bank (over 4.5 thousand. rent every month only from there), plots by the sea over 10 thousand square meters first line with ready projects and building permits already, electricity and water, we are currently buying another house and a building to rent more, several We have companies with various activities, after 2 months we have repaid all our loans and theoretically we do not have to work for life. I am 31 years old, my husband will soon be 40 years old. My parents are 58 years old and have achieved nothing in life - my mother has been unemployed for many years, although she has a job in her specialty, my father is retired due to illness - they have been living with their grandparents since the day of their wedding, they have no savings, they only have one old car and they kept asking me what we were doing. Not bad - after 11 years I invited them by phone and visits at Christmas only to guests. They saw how we live, I took them to work with me for 2 weeks - I went around my sites and companies, suppliers - they fell. Now they stand and are silent and hope that as they get older and sick they will help us. WHY DON'T LISTEN TO THE OLD: Don't listen to the old, because they are not responsible for your successes and failures only if you have made the decisions. Do not listen to the old, because they are damaged by communism, by the people of the Transition, people damaged by their own parents, negative people. BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS, YOU WILL ACHIEVE THEM, do not believe what the old people tell you - they are part of the past, not the future. I SOMETIMES listen only and exclusively to the advice of SUCCESSFUL, POSITIVE people. I have NEVER listened to my parents and this is the best decision in my life - I studied what I wanted, I always lived where I wanted, I invited them to the wedding and 1 week before that I introduced them to my fiancé! Respect your parents and other old people, help them in need, but so far. Your life is yours and if they try to define it for you - bye, phone call once every 2-3 weeks and 2 days at Christmas.
