How does it feel being in a relationship? (lemm.ee)

The fact I'll die alone without ever feeling the love of a woman besides my mother and without a child saddens me. So, as kind of a consolation, I want to know... How does it feel? Being in love and being together, the sex part, just living together and all that...

I'm throwing shots in the dark here, but your English seems very proficient. Is there a possibility that your excellent English skills could be an avenue to making money in your home country? Forgive my ignorance. I can feel your pain through your posts. Just wanna help.

The magic of auto correct. My English is terrible. Still... Puts me above the people here (immigrant in Italy)

I don't know, you seem to be using more advanced vocabulary and word choice in this thread than could be explained just with autocorrect.

Sending love to you brother. I wish I knew the right magic words to say that would help you love yourself like you should. I hope one day you find what you need.

I can even be more articulated and going balls deep in my references on the Shakespearian language. I'm still bad. That still won't get me laid here as a poor brown dude.

Your English is good.

Have you looked in to translation work?

Stop focusing on the finish line, you've barely started.

No, I don't have studies, too dumb and poor for that middle class shit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I went to college and have worked a middle class job since I was 17. Believe me, being smart has nothing to do with it, I'd say less than five percent of people I've worked with were "smart", the rest are just doing the bare minimum to not get sacked.

What ever you're lacking in knowledge and skills can be made up for by just being keen.

I admit that money does help, unfortunately, the mobility of classes has been in decline for decades now.

Which means I'm fucked.

You don't need to know about specific topics to do translations. Think about it, no one can know everything, right?

Your English is really good. I imagine your Italian is similar, as well as whatever your 3rd language is. You are clearly not dumb.

Worst case scenario, you're right, you can't do it. So, no different to before, beyond a bit of wasted time. So you might as well have a look, you're not gonna lose anything.
