And I already legitimately have always wanted to live forever (I know I wont, shut the fuck up), let alone not die early. I'm not sticking my head out for my skull to be crushed by a brown shirt after I already have done what I've done.

I was going to try and scrounge enough to flee to Canada what with a decent amount of savings, passport, and a Software Engineering degree but after some set backs related to my car dying and the job market imploding basically everywhere I'm now worried I might be fucking stuck here for a while. So now I'm mostly just focused on keeping my head down.
