Cześć...Warsaw is where I spent the majority of my time living abroad. I love the city, people, my closest relationships are there along with the best doctors I ever had, and I'd love to return but since my health is so frustrating I was never able to have stability in work or life long enough to legitimize. The years spent trying were always derailed by something outside of my control. I was unable to renew my Karta Pobytu the final time and had to return here. Even knowing the cons there, as Poland is certainly not as robust in the social arena as the West, and the populism is sadly growing like in the USA, I still long to return. Even if I only had access to the private system my care in it was always superb and affordable.
Had I been healthy or had some consistent support I'd have long since legitimized and possibly had citizenship if it were granted. But I'd have settled for permanent residency. Not really going to change anything to mention all of this, and things are far worse for me now all around than even then so it's possibly wishful thinking to imagine I could even have THAT life again, but it was just relevant to your comment.
