It is very fortunate that you could replace the addiction. I choose that word as due to your introspective nature you realize you need to be addicted to something
So many do not have that epiphany. They are unable to see that there is a different world. And that they can change everything by stepping across the border.
And some never even have a choice.
Great work <3
Thank you! It's sad, I know. I've watched many disappear into a life unknown because the barriers were far too great for them
