I am tired, I am unhappy about my housing situation in Amsterdam, about the fact that despite having looked for a place to live and do music for 9 months now, I havent yet found the right kind of housing for myself where I can freely make music and live, because the shitty salary I make doesnt cover the housing costs in and around this unreasonably expensive city. I work 4 days a week in my day job so I have at least one day off for music, but this formula doesnt work anymore - it gives me neither enough time, neither enough money. Something has to change. Either I leave Amsterdam, or I leave my job, or I leave Holland, or I meet a man who will fall in love with me and whos gonna provide all those things for me! :) Seriously, universe, people, I need help! I have one month to find a new shelter for myself and the studio and I want to find a long term nice place. Where is it? What do I need to do to make it happen? Ive asked around, posted ads, replied to ads, even announced it on the radio! And whatever Ive come across just wont cut it. Not because I have unreasonably high standards, but because I dont yet know how to afford paying for both, the studio and my living space or the options Ive seen are too small and dont suit my needs. In order to generate more income with music, I need space for it. Not doing music is not an option cause Ill end up in a straight jacket somewhere. I am creative, but for now, I just dont know how to go on :( Current budget for both, the studio and myself is max 650 all in. Only uplifting suggestions, please. Thank you!
