I'm planning on travelling to Prague from Dresden and am looking into travel options.
I have the deutschland card but it seems to me like it might be easier and cheaper to take the flixbus (instead of the train to Schona and from Schona to Prague)
What has been your experience with flixbus or do you guys know a better way I could get there?
What is your advice on Interrailling in and around Germany?? What is worth seeing and what is worth skipping
I love hiking/nature and art!!! (also partial to anything historical)
Here's my current route plan but I'm not sure how many days I should spend where!!!
Berlin
Dresden
Prague
Nuremberg
Munich
Berchtesgaden
Garmisch Partenkirchen
Black Forest
Stuttgart/Liechtenstein
Frankfurt
Luxembourg
Cologne/Hamburg
Get home either through Belgium or the Netherlands!!
I'm looking to find more things to do in Berlin and visitberlin.de is not cutting it!!!!!!! where else do you guys look??? :))) I'm super interested in finding more community events!
Functionally I have moved on. I have rebuilt my hobbies, my interests, my sense of self. I have studied abroad for a year and experienced so many things beyond my wildest dreams and met so so many amazing people. I have friends, I have rebuilt my self-worth and I have a proper grasp on my life, passions and future. I'm no longer painfully insecure. I don't cry. I feel good about myself. In many ways I have found myself beyond everything in my past.
But I can't stop ruminating and dwelling on the pain I've experienced and contributed to. I don't know what is wrong with me. I was with my ex for two years and he cheated. Our breakup was incredibly drawn out and super damaging to my sense of self and reality for a really long time. Functionally, I know I am beyond that and even emotionally to a certain extent too.
It has officially been over two years since we broke up and he is still with the person he left me for. I haven't dated - I've been too scared but I do feel ready for it now.
However, despite recognizing that he wasn't the person I fell in love with, that what he did during our relationship isn't okay, that I don't love him anymore - he's still on my mind in every moment I'm not distracted. I have thought about every memory, every scenario, every reason a thousand times. There's nothing new to be discovered and nothing new to learn.
I know the rational reasons - my responsibility for the end and his. But despite knowing all of this my mind still runs in circles. I feel like people say obsession occurs when you're dissatisfied with your life and that simply isn't true for me. I'm happier than I ever was with him - yet the thoughts still won't leave. I don't know why they won't leave and why I won't let them leave. I know I'm holding on to the hurt more than the love but I don't know why I can't let go. I don't know why I don't want to let go.
Well, to some extent I do. The lies, the lack of an apology, the disrespect lives on. I used to wait for the day they would break up but I have moved on enough to not care about that anymore. Yet something in me still cares about something???? Maybe it's because he never recognized my pain? Maybe it's because I lost so much of myself to try and make him love me. I don't know but it's so trivial to still be dwelling on this.
How do I let go? What is wrong with me ??? This isn't normal. Everyone after the breakups let's go eventually. It's been too long for this to be normal. My obsession scares me and I feel like an addict to these thoughts. My life is good - what else do I need for it to stop?????
I got a summer internship in Berlin for gallery work and I wanted to know what the best tips are for adjusting to culture/lifestyle in Germany!! Aside from the few stereotypes I know (such as German directness!!!) what should I keep in mind living/working there?? :))
+ Are there any recommendations for day trips and what to see on my days off?
++ What are the best ways you've met people in the city?
