I was thinking that you were probably quite young. I remember having those feelings, at that age, myself.
I'm 68 and, although the Covid thing wasn't around when I was your age, there was still that tendency to feel a little helpless about life.
I don't blame you for not wanting to work behind a desk. I went to college and studied office systems and when I graduated, I realised that I hated it. I got into construction and machine maintenance and I was quite happy with that as a career.
The only advice I can give you is to remain patient. Things work out, in the end, if you follow your instincts, do what feels right and work hard at it. As for women, there's nothing I can say that will help you there. I love them but they're crazy. LOL.
I'm in Canada and I like it here. Fortunately, I never lived in the city. I'd love to visit Portugal, some day. People say that it's a beautiful country. Maybe after this Covid thing is over.
Anyway, good luck to you.

You used the word "eradicate" so I assumed that you meant what you said.
Also, I'm not going to spend my life wishing things were a certain way. I'm going to deal with my life as it is, not as I want it to be.
Also, you don't have to live in a big concrete building, with hundreds of people, if you don't want to. I live in a small town and I go visit the family farm all the time. I pitch a tent at the back of the farm and spend a week or so, at a time, outdoors and enjoying myself. It's great but that's only because I have the safety net of our modern technology. Life in nature is extremely hard and if you spend any time in nature, you'll realise that. Life is cheap, in the wild, and the problems are a lot worse than taxes and money or rent.
Happiness in life doesn't come from the outside. It comes from you, from how you view the world and your existence in it. Instead of complaining about the things that you have no control over, appreciate the good things in life. Your family, friends, a warm sunny day, art, music, a good book, tell a joke, smile at your neighbour, be optimistic about life. Quit whining about stuff that can't change.
