Today marks perhaps the worst, most stressful, and disgraceful day of 2024. The year is still young, but it hasn't been good for me financially. I'm in the gutter with no perspective currently to change that for the better, and I am starting to harbor more and more resentment toward my fellow countrymen.
Here's why...
A few years ago, a couple of old neighbors of mine, who were close to my family, passed away. After the funerals were over and some time had passed, the son of these deceased individuals returned home to claim his inheritance left by his parents. After selling almost all of it, he was left with two garages.
One of these garages was designated to be sold to another neighbor of ours, and the other was gifted to my parents by this individual. That was back in 2018. Since then, the man has not returned to town for the paperwork. He had planned on doing so once he retired. Fast forward to 2024, and today we found out that he changed his mind and had already made a deal with someone else.
So essentially, the garage that was supposed to be sold to our neighbor, and the one that should belong to us, are now both sold. This individual reneged on everything he promised almost six years ago, influenced by some shady individuals in town who talked behind our backs, and settled a new deal for the garages.
Now we're faced with the situation of having to move everything out and find a place to store it all. At the very least, he could have informed us that he had changed his mind over the years, and perhaps we could have found a solution to purchase the garage for ourselves somehow.
But instead, he fell into the trap set by the buyer, a sneaky businessman from here, and disregarded his own word that he had given us almost six years ago. I don't understand these people. How can they behave this way? Where is society heading with individuals like this?
I'm disillusioned with my country, frustrated with many of the people here, and I am quite determined to leave again in the near future. "There is no forest without drylands," but Romania seems so full of drylands...
I have a severe headache as I write this, and I really need some good sleep. The emotions I've experienced today have drained me of almost all my energy. However, I must acknowledge what I do have. Some are likely far less fortunate, like the individuals involved in a car crash this evening, where I took the picture with the fire truck. I feel disgusted, and somewhat helpless in finding my place, and it's probable that my place isn't in this country anymore with individuals like this.
The individual who bought the garages and talked behind our backs to secure the deal knows my parents and me. However, it seems that in the times we are living in, a person would do anything to achieve their goals. Common sense, integrity, and promises are gradually becoming extinct...
Anyway, I hope you all had a better day than mine. I see that BTC is performing relatively well, and hopefully, HIVE will spring back to life as well. See you all next time.
Thanks for your attention,
Adrian
