My biggest regret since moving abroad Move abroad in 6 months plan I’ve been afraid of changes song It breaks my heart that kids these days anticipate school shootings as a part of their lives. America has allowed that. They know, that the government and politicians and MAGA are willing to sacrifice children for a fake “right” that they twist into knots in order to keep their guns. Gun ownership is not a universal right. Also, when the constitution was written there were no automatic weapons! Or electricity or cars or indoor toilets. Is it possible that the writers of the constitution couldn’t see the future and realize how badly they wrote that document? Modern day society deserves an updated document that reflects the reality of our time. 🆘🇺🇸 #TikTokEncyclopediaContest #creatorsearchinsights

Since moving abroad five years ago, there have been countless school shootings in the United States. And there was this one particular school shooting where they were interviewing a survivor of that shooting. And he was a new student at that school. He had just transferred to that school. And what he said to the reporter was, you know, I know school shootings happen. I just didn't think it was going to happen this soon to me transferring here. Like he expected it to happen. He had this expectation that school shootings are normal. And that is what we have done to the youth of America. We have conditioned them to believe that these things could happen to them. And yet the parents are over here like, oh, that can't happen to us. I'm so optimistic. Everything's fine. I live in a safe neighborhood as if you have some control over where those things are happening. They're happening everywhere in the United States. They're happening in rural areas. They're happening in cities. They're happening in suburbs all across that nation. And yet you protect yourself by doing the mental gymnastics.

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. 🆘🇺🇸
