So maybe the situation is not as dire as I felt it to be for the past few days. We submitted some paperwork so that I can try to get residency/working rights in Spain through Tio’s family. This might not work but it’s worth a shot. If I get super lucky, I could (theoretically) get the papers in the next 1-3 months and then I’ll still be able to make some money this summer. If I get denied then I’ll have to wait until next February to get the papers via a contract with a job…
The plus side is that it seems to be super easy to find a job here on Costa Brava (as long as you have “documents” that is), so once I get these papers, I think making a bit of money to support our projects should not be that difficult.
Another thing I am happy about is that we (@Tio and I) don’t need much. We don’t need fancy food, clothes, gadgets, subscriptions to any services, or anything, really, but some basic supermarket-bought food and a roof o

Another thing I am happy about is that we (@Tio and I) don’t need much. We don’t need fancy food, clothes, gadgets, subscriptions to any services, or anything, really, but some basic supermarket-bought food and a roof over our heads- and we are happy this way.
I’ve had the same bikini, for example, for the past 6 or so years. You know what I did with it today? I went snorkeling (with a mask and snorkel that we found) in a beautiful bay- for free- and I observed two large cuttlefish! If you don’t know what a cuttlefish is, watch this video- ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=GDwOi7HpHt… They are one of the coolest sea creatures ever :)
I value making eye contact with a cuttlefish and watching it change the color, pattern, and texture of its skin. I find that amazing. I couldn’t care less about what I wear or what kind of phone I use to talk about this creature.
The less stuff we want, the less money we need, the less we have to work for money, and the more time we have to live, learn, experience interesting things, and to simply be a human. That’s the way to live a happy and humble life, in my opinion.

BTW, I suppose @tio is the one editing these videos, right? Or do you do that on your own?
