And this is the time you’ll hate being a guy — yup, some listings just refuse to accept male guests. Now I know how gender discrimination feels like.<\/p>\n
\nSo you’re telling me that when I get home — besides worrying about cooking my dinner — I have to check the pH of the fishes’ water?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Oh, and some houses include pets. Apparently those owners prefer to outsource that responsibility to strangers. I saw descriptions like “includes sociable Labrador”, “family cat”, or even “fish tank”! It’s amazing how people transform disadvantages into marvellous features of the house.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I’m living the dream again.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Bubble](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.diogonunes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/bubble.jpg?resize=580%2C308\")
<\/p>\n
But it started as a nightmare.<\/h3>\n
I couldn’t sleep on my first night, too much anxiety. During my childhood my room became my safehold and an extension of my personality. Having that removed and replaced by a little room, in a random place, with random people around… was like placing my personal bubble over a bed of nails. And I reckon this is a “first world problem”, that makes me look like a spoiled kid. Still, it hurts.<\/p>\n
\nWhen you take a vaccine you’re exposing your body to a small and controlled dose of illness. It hurts at the time, and you may even cry. However, in the long term you will be more resilient.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This will probably happen to you<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n- Discover that dishes and clothes do not wash themselves.<\/li>\n
- Be even more grateful for the backstage work<\/em> your parents do for you.<\/li>\n
- After a certain hour, your brain starts thinking in the background “what will I cook for dinner? And HOW?”<\/li>\n
- You eat less, but you savour each mouthful. After all, it’s your work.<\/li>\n
- Even an expert in tech freezes when he\/she uses a washing machine for the first time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
tl;dr<\/h3>\n\n- Challenge yourself out of the comfort zone.<\/li>\n
- “Bite your tongue”, embrace it and endure it.<\/li>\n
- Those achievements will strengthen your confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
