Unknowable

in steemexclusive •  last month 

"Fucked up life", says a character from an old Bulgarian film that tells a sad story about the life of Bulgarians in the 1930s. I can't even believe they ever looked as modern, if at all, almost like in Paris or London, but still life was hard for the majority of the population. Same as now. It's as if almost nothing has changed, only the times are different.

A few days ago a news appeared in my feed with the headline that a young man threw himself under a train and died and the comments under the article were: many young people have started killing themselves living in these "wonderful" living conditions that we find ourselves in.
In my head is always the image of a girl, a young woman who, because of unemployment in her hometown, the city where I studied in high school, was literally ruined. She had put on an incredible amount of weight due to eating low-quality and cheap food, being constantly under the stress of lack of money, her teeth were also in a terrible state because she could not afford a visit to the dentist. This case had shocked me a lot at the time. On the one hand, because I know well the city in which this girl is located and has such problems. On the other hand - well, I'm in the same position as her. How long will I last like this? When will I go crazy, when will I get sick, when will I have a total breakdown so that it will be irreversible, irreparable, incurable...

Well, yes, I got sick. I couldn't hold on that long. The disease was more severe than usual, very long to treat, more than a month has already passed and I still haven't recovered. I am aware that this is a stress disorder. Healing is so difficult, almost impossible, because my circumstances have made me sick. And staying in these circumstances makes healing impossible. It's logical.
It's interesting how many difficult and unpleasant things in life are logical, but others are not at all. Such as this: He who seeks finds.
Well, he doesn't find it. I've been looking for years now. I'm already digging in a single, totally different direction and there's no going back, but will I succeed? Going alone to a foreign country, I constantly read about people being attacked and kidnapped, disappearances, murders, organ trafficking... Now these possibilities concern me so much that I want to know what my options are under Bulgarian legislation for disposal of my organs, don't laugh. On the other hand, I wonder if this is really what life is and should be, if it can't be something else. Why does it have to be so difficult, full of endless impossibilities?
One last try. Penultimate. Unless something happens to me in the process and I die.

A few days ago I wanted to write in a post how I feel. It's probably a good thing I didn't. I was going to ask if anyone knows what it's like to feel like you're going to explode, from everything that is happening and not happening, from all the unrealized things, dead dreams, even basic ones, from not understanding and having no idea what's going on. Kind of like this meme where there's only one "WTF" between birth and death.

I am no longer so melodramatic, I no longer ask questions, I no longer look for opportunities, I no longer complain. Someone here just recently named his post: souldetour's type rant. And maybe I should really stop complaining now that my posts are becoming proverbial. Not important that I'm scared to death and that I used the blockchain as an outlet, a place where, writing, I have the time to reflect and consider the situations, the causes, the consequences. A place where I reached my own conclusions, where I documented the events that made an impression on me and led me to certain conclusions.
There will certainly also be a period during which I will not be able to write. But I don't know when that will happen. Anyway, I don't know anything yet. Because life is unknowable... I just thought I made up a new word, but it turns out it does exist. But I'm probably the only one using it. Because that's my life. Unknowable.

Thank you for your time! Copyright:@soulsdetour
steem.jpgSoul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.

Personally, I am a sensitive soul with a strong sense of justice.
Traveling and photography are my greatest passions.
Sounds trivial to you?
No, it's not trivial. Because I still love to travel to not so famous destinations.🗺️
Of course, the current situation does not allow me to do this, but I still find a way to satisfy my hunger for knowledge, new places, beauty and art.
Sometimes you can find the most amazing things even in the backyard of your house.😊🧐🧭|

I hope more curators support your real life endeavors and ease your issues but unfortunately these kind of networks are notorious to not being able to recognize real talents from fake ones.

Nevertheless, keep the great work up. Sooner or later you will succeed and then you will feel better!

You are right that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake here. Maybe it's like that in real life too?🤔 Here things are divided more by regions than by any other arguments and circumstances. Well, I'm in the process of thinking about what to do here, whether to continue or not, whether to power down and use this money for my daily needs or not, although I initially considered this blockchain to be a good potential investment opportunity. I will find out in the coming months for sure. Thank you for your constant support though!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

If you ask for my advice, I'd say it is up to you, entirely.

However, there is a general believe that investing or saving 10% of your income, is a great long-term strategy. Then those 10% is good to be diversified to different kind of investments.

So if you need money to support your day-to-day expenses, use them. Minus those 10% if you could afford that.

You're very welcome, keep up the great blogging!

Thank you for reminding me of this 10 percent investment principle, but one thing I have learned from my modest investment experience is that we cannot talk about investing at all when there is no steady income or none at all. Investments happen only when a person has enough funds from which he can easily withdraw 10%. If I remove 90% of my SP, the remaining 10% will not make any sense. And if I leave it at that... I'm still treating an illness, and I have previous expenses to pay for it... I really don't know what I'm going to do from now on. Only God knows.

Steady or not, it doesn't change the idea.

Then, a separate question, how much is enough?
Most people will always say they need more money and it is never sufficient.

Have I said enough? Well, then that means having all my basic needs covered, not having any debts outstanding, and being a humble person who has saved my whole life to survive, that's enough for me.

Steady or not

The meaning of everything changes when there is nothing really, not steady, but no income at all.
