I Am Upset

feeling poor and incapable. living in the farthest suburb of the whole city, got stuck in 2 traffic jams in the morning and was late for work as in every morning. 3 hrs on travel to and fro work for 6 years. graduated for 6 years but still living with my father, brother and his wife, at age 31. dinner with my father and his distant relatives who came back from abroad for holiday, and they have benefited a lot from the good welfare and system there, with their daughter having a promising career and family life. feeling doomed and trapped staying at a decaying city with no future, a future with no protection, an undesirable future for me as an individual. i feel bad i have not done well enough, well enough to escape.

I'm sorry you're feeling downhearted and overwhelmed. I can empathize if it's any consolation. I've also been thinking lately that if my family and I lived abroad we might be better taken care of as citizens. You get to a point where you're like--things STILL shouldn't be THIS way!! And yet it is--despite all your hard work and trying your best. Try to keep hanging in there! and know you're not alone.

I know now how your city is like, and can imagine how hard living there must be. I know how huge it is, how frequeny traffic jams are, how extreme the climate can be. My thoughts were that it is a very interesting place to visit, but very far from my ideal place to live.
Maybe with your work experience you can move somewhere else, to some place where living conditions are more gentle. There is no paradise on earth, every place has its problems, but in some places life is still more human than in others.

i understand it no places are perfect. being an new immigrant elsewhere is also not easy. will try harder to stay in my city.
Maybe rent a room in town?

not good for the long term. renting is more extensive than paying monthly instalment of buying. 1st problem is how to save enough and fast enough for paying the big 1st instalment while the prices are rising fast.
