When I was growing up, I lived in Germany for 10 years as my dad was a civilian employee of the Army. Back then I missed being home, but now that the US has fully shit the bed I’m glad I was able to experience the perspective of being outside the US. It’s so huge and has had so much influence for so long that it’s easy to think of it as the center of the universe when you’re living here. I know better. And now I wish I had the means to be outside of it again and stay there.
