Replying to @valairianoctaviusstark False equivalencies drive me bonkers. For parents willing to traumatize kids with active shooter drills because gas prices are higher in another country, we are not the same. Never mind, there are countries where you don’t need a car. I didn’t have one for several years in Japan for example. You are just looking for excuses to justify your inaction. Discomfort of change is NOT the same as fear. Fear should come from knowing your kids could be shot at school each day. 🆘🇺🇸 #TikTokEncyclopediaContest

The problem is you hold other countries to a higher standard than the United States of America. When I'm talking about moving to another country, the thing people love to do is go poke holes in why that country is not somewhere that they would move. And yet, the United States is plagued with whatever problem it is they say exists in that other country. You've put the United States on a pedestal and you're telling this other country that they have to surpass every single thing about the United States while forgetting that the United States is pretty much the only country on the planet that allows school shootings to be normal. It's also the only country on the planet where you can go bankrupt from medical debt. It doesn't have any protections for women's maternity leave. The majority of the population is in an unwinnable situation economically. They can never get ahead and yet this other country, you're mad that their gas prices are high. Whereas their rent prices are 55% cheaper and their restaurant prices are 38% cheaper and their new car prices are 50% cheaper. But no, let's talk about the gas prices and say non-starter can't move there. They've also not had any school shootings, not this year or ever. So there's that. But what I want to say is that there is a continuum of problems. And people who want to say that all the problems are equal just have no discernment. And you are very confused because just because you can say that that place has problems does not mean the problems that you are living through aren't worse. You are under a tyrannical government where your president is controlling all arms of government illegally and he is an actual felon. And yet the gas prices are what are going to hang you up about not moving to a new country. What I think is happening here is you are letting your discomfort from the possibility of change feel like danger. But the real danger is staying in the situation that is crumbling around you that you're just shielding your eyes from, you're pretending it doesn't exist, you're creating justifications and doing your mental gymnastics to make it seem like it's not as bad as it is. But it is bad. And you are allowed to change in order to get that comfort and peace and security and safety all of those things outside of the United States. I'm Veronica and five years ago I took my family of four out of that insanity and we moved abroad since then we've lived on three different continents and now I teach other Americans how they can escape that chaos as well. I've got the 2026 Global Life Accelerator linked to my bio right now and there are limited spots available. That program is going to teach you the ins and outs of getting yourself from idea to action and so you can actually live abroad in 2026. Life after leaving America really is better. It's been better for every single part of me. It's been better for my mental health. It's been better for my physical health. I do not have all that pent up anxiety and extra cortisol running through my veins. I am not stressed out to the point where I'm making myself sick because I'm grinding and hustling to try to keep up with American standards. I can be calm and I can relax and my body is better because of it. Not to mention the fact that foods in Europe have no toxins in them because the American FDA allows all the toxins and all the corporate exploitation of your food, whereas there are standards in other countries and our bodies are better because of it. So if you want those kinds of changes for yourself, join my group coaching program and I'll help you leave America.

Replying to @user4403013943825 Wanting accountability for systemic injustice is not the same thing as celebrating when others suffer. One is about justice. The other is about revenge. My family was interned. I live with the consequences of that generational trauma every day. And I would never look at someone else being oppressed and think "good, now you know how it feels." Because that doesn't undo what happened to my family. It just creates more people carrying the same wound. The idea that suffering builds empathy is a lie we tell ourselves to make sense of senseless pain. Suffering builds trauma. Empathy is a choice you make despite it. You can acknowledge that Black Americans have faced centuries of systemic violence and injustice AND refuse to celebrate when that violence finds new targets. Those positions aren't contradictory. They're both rooted in the belief that human suffering is wrong. Period. Regardless of who's experiencing it. If the system is broken for everyone, the answer isn't to make sure everyone gets equally broken. It's to leave the system entirely. 🆘🇺🇸
True. And here's how you'll know it's happening. They'll start with gentle concern. "Are you sure this is the right time?" "What about your career?" "Have you really thought this through?" When that doesn't work, they'll escalate to guilt. "You're abandoning us." "What about the grandkids?" "We won't be able to see you." Then they'll try fear. "What if something happens to you over there?" "You don't even speak the language." "America is still the safest country in the world." And finally, when none of that stops you, they'll make it personal. "You're being selfish." "You've changed." "You're making a huge mistake." None of this is about your wellbeing. It's about their discomfort with your choice. The test is simple. Do they ask questions to understand your plan? Or do they just list reasons why it won't work? Supportive people ask questions. Threatened people create obstacles. Ready to move forward anyway? Link in bio for exit plan consultations. 🆘🇺🇸
You don't actually need anyone's permission to move abroad. Not your parents. Not your friends. Not your coworkers. Not even your spouse if they're using guilt instead of having real conversations. But you keep waiting for them to be okay with it. You keep trying to make them understand. You keep softening your plans so they feel less threatening. Meanwhile, you're still stuck. Still unhappy. Still living a life designed around everyone else's comfort except your own. Here's what changed for me. I stopped asking for approval and started making announcements. I'm moving in six weeks. Here's the plan. You can support me or you can process your feelings on your own time. But I'm going. The people who loved me figured it out. The people who didn't were never going to be happy for me anyway. Your freedom matters more than their comfort. Act like it. Ready to build your exit plan? Link in bio. 🆘🇺🇸
The reason you keep "researching" instead of applying for a visa is because research feels safe. As long as you're still learning, you don't have to make the scary calls. You don't have to tell your boss. You don't have to face your family's reaction. You don't have to sell your stuff or figure out what to do with your car. Research is comfortable. Execution is nerve wracking. But here's what nobody tells you. The nerves lasts about 6 weeks. Then you're on the other side and you wonder why you waited so long. The fantasy lasted years and got you nowhere. The tension lasts weeks and gets you everything. If you're ready to trade comfortable fantasy for uncomfortable action, I'll help you figure out the logistics. Link in bio for exit plan consultations. 🆘🇺🇸
