"𝐈𝐟 𝐈'𝐝 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧" 🤦🏼♀️
Comment below if you can relate.
I don’t even know where to start.
🇳🇱 My exemption for needing to take a test on the Dutch Labor Market was denied so now I have to pay a fine, fill out a shazload of paperwork and have two interviews…in Dutch. 😳
👶🏻 Grandson #2 just arrived, making me feel like living in Amsterdam might as well be living on the moon. Plus, every time grandson #1 and I Facetime he asks, “Oma, when are you coming to my house to play with me.” 💔
🇺🇸 We’re eyeballs deep into my husband’s GreenCard process and I swear it would be easier for me to donate an organ…and I don’t have that many to give (thanks cancer!). 🩻
All of this has led me to declare in complete exasperation, "𝘐𝘧 𝘐'𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯!!", more than a few times as I pour myself a drink. 🍷
There’s so much I would have done differently if I’d only known all of this. 🙏🏻
But here’s the thing, it’s impossible to know what twists and turns life will take.

Just a little perspective shift in case you’re dealing with some tough stuff right now
