I am so bored out of my damn mind! 

I've been here since August of last year and while it was fine the first couple of months I'm actually losing my mind over this, at first I was like: 

"Oh yeah, prolonged vacation! Able to do and learn so much! I can finally work on all the projects I've been meaning to do for the last years! I have all these cool ideas and inspirations that I can put into work!" and more but, not having a job is killing my, for a lack of a better word, "vibe" 

It's as if for me to be able to function properly I need to be able to serve a higher cause, and that includes slaving myself away towards the government lol.  

Don't get me wrong, I'm not actually "bored" I know I have and can do a TON of stuff but not having a job just simply kills everything, my creativity, my inspiration, my ideas, etc. 

I really would do anything to get back the freedom and things I used to have back home, being able to transport myself wherever I wanted, have a job, earn money, studying, my friends, my family, stores even, just, everything...

I know it was a trade off when we decided to venture into this, sacrificing my entire life just for the person I love but this just feels like torture by now. 

 

All in all, the things we do for love.

My husband felt very much the same way. He moved here at the beginning of October 2018, and then received is EAD at the beginning of July 2019. Since it was just my salary, I felt bad policing him on how much he could spend on hobbies to keep from being bored.
