Anons,I’m in a truly strange situation. About a year ago, after graduating uni, I decided I needed a change in my life and signed up for a volunteering program that ended up placing me in quite literally the middle of nowhere. As in, the most rural part of a country most people have never heard of.Aaaand it literally feels like I’m in prison. I have essentially unlimited free time (esp right now cuz the school I teach at is on break), live in a decent house all things considered, and am almost completely isolated from my community which is mostly populated by unemployed alcoholics who see me as a source of foreign money. What can I do to fill my time? I have about a year and a half left of this, and at any time I could quit and my org would buy me a plane ticket home. But I can’t do that. So what should I do? Learn a language? Idk. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
>>34096088Well what have you wanted to do that you didn't have enough free time for before?
>>34096095I mean that’s the irony of it anon. My whole life I’ve been searching for more free time. Now I have all of it and it sucks. Kind of a monkey’s paw situation. I’m sure if you work a job or have a family or both you know the feeling of wishing for just more TIME. We all do in modern western society. But 1/3rd of the people working my job in my country last year dropped out cuz they couldn’t take it. It’s deliciously ironic.
