I did not take the decision to leave the United States lightly. My kids and I were out at protests and political rallies all summer in 2020. And then it hit me. I had been politically active since for 20 years. Mayoral campaigns in Seattle. Rock the vote events for Ben & Jerry’s. Door to door registration for Kerry. President of VOX for Planned Parenthood on my college campus. Phone banked for Obama. Donations to Bernie and Yang. I fought the good fight for the majority of my life. Nothing changed because I protested or volunteered or gave money. In fact, things had gotten worse in meaningful ways. One day I realized that fighting mentally was not what I wanted for my daughter’s. The United States is crumbling and even if it eventually turns around, I am not willing to waste more years on getting back to where we started. What do you think of my visualization on how I imagine America today? #creatorsearchinsights

This is going to sound a little woo-woo, but as a person who moved from the United States five years ago, now I've been disconnected from a lot of the things that are happening there unless it really makes it to international news, I am not part of that daily American life anymore. And now that I'm out, I have this visualization I want to say out loud because it's kind of weird, but I want to know if anyone also agrees with this. I view people who live in the United States as living in a tunnel, okay, and under the mountain tunnel, if you have one of those by you, you know, there's a mountain and a tunnel goes through it, all right, it's like this sturdy tunnel and it's a long tunnel and that's the United States is underneath the tunnel and underneath that tunnel, there's all these problems in this part of the tunnel, there's like a drip and it's creating like puddles of water where you should be living, it's like flooding and over there and that part of the tunnel, there's like a bug infestation and it's just super gross and you don't want to be anywhere near it. And over in that part of the tunnel, there's like a fire, there's something on fire and it's creating lots of smoke and wreaking havoc over there. And then over in that part of the tunnel, there's like a guy with glass shards that's just trying to cut people randomly. And then over in this part of the tunnel, every time you eat the food, you get super sick and so nobody wants to eat on that part of the tunnel. So there's all these different problems in the tunnel. One part of it is starting to erode into the earth and it's just like collapsing like a sinkhole. Another part of it is like, got this loud noise that's just, just infiltrating your ears and it's so piercing that you can't stand it. Another part of it has quick sand of people are sinking in the quick sand, which we used to think it's going to be a really big problem. So the tunnel has tons of problems. But the thing about a tunnel is that both sides of the tunnel are totally open. You can see sunlight, there's this little archway and there's sunlight on that side of the tunnel and there's sunlight on that side of the tunnel. But instead of leaving the tunnel, all the Americans seem to just be like, oh no, I'll be fine if I just go over here, just slightly over here from this other part of the tunnel. Or I'll be fine if I just slightly move to this different city or this different state, slightly away from all of these terrible things happening within the country. And that is what I view. The American culture right now is like, is there people who refuse to leave the tunnel and step out into the light? And those of us who have left the country, we just walked out of the tunnel and went to safety because the rest of the world is totally fine and safe. Whereas in the tunnel, everything is chaos and a mess. And you just want to stay in the tunnel because it's where you started it. It's what you call home. But I'm just not about that vibe anymore. I am ready to work with people who want to get out of the tunnel and leave and see the light. That is who I'm targeting here on TikTok. Does that make sense to you? Does that make sense to anybody other than me or am I just totally crazy?
