Holy crap! My @huffpost article was published in Europe too! Link to English version in bio

Spain is over a month late getting me my work contact so I have been in an existential crisis over what the hell to do if they don’t let me renew my visa here. If I didn’t figure it out before I leave next Thursday, I would be fucked and not eligible to legally return. Today the immigration officer let me submit my papers without the contract so I am pretty sure I can come back. Three great days in a row and I don’t have to worry about what country to live in or question selling my truck. I can just keep the original plan. I’m a privileged white girl and this high stakes paperwork shit is insanely stressful. I can’t imagine what it’s like trying to immigrate to Europe (or worse yet, America!) for people without all my advantages. Anywho, I don’t have to uproot my life and choose a new country in the next month. I have time to figure things out and not have to make awful, impulsive decisions. And I can finally sleep again now. Also, I am lucky to have two awesome friends and two teachers who have helped me fill the paperwork out and even escort me down there as a translator cuz you can’t risk miscommunications with the smallest details over this stuff. I’m so grateful for their help. I couldn’t have secured my residency without them

The main @huffpost twitter shared my article whoop whoop. NOT gonna read comments and replies! (Link in bio)
