      I needed somebody to ask me this question. Maybe it will finally make me move my butt.
      Don´t get me wrong, I´m not some kind of layabout or anything. Actually I am hardworking and ambitious person. But somehow my life got stucked in past two years and I found myself losing track.
      I gave up. Now I know that. I had an amazing job in event management but due to the unpleasant working conditions I decided to quit. I spent two months searching for a new one but wasn´t successful. Maybe I didn´t try hard enough. Or the crisis played it´s role. However, under the circumstances, I ended up choosing the easy solution instead of trying. I left my country for seasonal job and accidentaly stayed here, in Crete, for another two years.
      First season I worked as a bartender which wasn´t making any good, ´coz I felt like I was moving backwards. The other summer was way better thanks to the leading position, but at the end, Greek way of "management" didn´t let me show my potencial and qualities.
      And now I am trying to figure out why I am still here.. The situation in job market is worse than ever, for me as an outsider even worse.
      I didn´t expect myself putting other people above me when it comes to happiness. Unfortunately, even if it comes to love, you just cannot make somebody happy if you are unhappy yourself. Or maybe you can, but I cannot. What´s always made me happy is definitely working, building my career and being a part of this rush.
      So my professional goal for now is to get back to the market and find a great job in event management or marketing (´coz these are the fields I see myself in) asap, for next year it´d be improving my qualities and learn a lot, so that in five years (preferably less than that) I can be a proffesional in my field, have enough money to live my life and be happy again...

    I agree with you that you can't make your love ones happy if you're not happy.
    Weird for we have a similar situation right now. A lot of options is pushed in front of me-which sounded good but I know deep in me I won't gonna be happy about it. It's good to know that you know what you want and you're at the process of getting in there. Take your time.

    Sometimes you really need to hit the wall to be able to see clearly. I did, quite hard. & I´m happy that I did. Coz thanks to that now I know what I want and what I need. I believe realizing the problem is gonna help me solve it. As you said, time is gonna help to avoid making another mistake.
