      I live in Florida and a coworker asked on which side is the Atlantic, and on which side was the Gulf. My judgement was not very secret because I was completely in shock. I’m still not over it.

      Nothing depresses me more then leaving my basement and traveling far across the globe, and seeing the same people doing the same shit just like at home.

      Desperate people trying to afford necessities, the exploiters lording over them, the corporations running things.

      I was young and dumb when I went, but I will never again make the mistake of searching for something that just isn’t there.

      I’d rather stay in my basement and pretend there is a better place in the world. But you can only play pretend for so long.

      Bonus: every time i struggle to make it, I get to think about the thousands wasted on that trip. I used to be a dumb ass. I still am, but I used to too.
