há exatamente 4 anos eu aterrava em Lisboa, o destino do maior salto de autoconfiança que dei na vida até hoje. que venham mais anos, saltos e autoconfiança! #VidaImigrante #ImmigrantLife

exactly 4 years ago I landed in Lisbon, the destination of the biggest self-confidence leap I took in my life to this day. may more years, leaps and self-confidence come! #ImmigrantLife #VidaImigrante

thanks to the complete shitstorm of incompetence of the Portuguese Immigration Agency, I had a shitty night of sleep, am anxious and am feeling physically sick. there's an executive decree extending all Residence Permits validity til the 30th of June, but my original expiration date is today, so my head is SPINNING. I've been insistently trying to renew it since December, via phone, email and going there in person, to absolutely no fucking avail. and I am fucking far from being the only one in this situation. how can a country this small be so fucking disrespectful, inhumane and cruel to its citizens in such a constant, consistent and overarching manner? ​
