I honestly don't know where "home" is.

I have a very pro-democracy view that most Mainland Chinese will reject me for.

I mean, I don't wanna live there and hear all the BS about how supposedly the CCP is "so great" and they have a firewall blocking everything.

Simultaneously, althought I do identify with certain elements of "being an American" such as the core priciples of Constitution, Democracy, Freedom, Separation of Powers, Rule of Law..., but then again 1/3 of the US is like infested with xenophobes and so called "patriots" that are actually just anti-constitution. And these anti-constitutional people has already infiltrated the government as we've evidently seen.

Honestly, I hightly doubt there is a democratic country that is just open arms accepting refugees like me... because I don't think I'd really be considered a refugee yet, there are no real evidence I can provide that I'm being persecuted.

So... for now, I'm just stuck here in the US lol.

This is the only citizenship I have anyways.

    I understand the concept of not knowing where home is.

    Where did I grow up? I was born in Virginia, kind of, in international waters with a huge contingency, called the USS Enterprise CVN-65, and promptly left the state not of my own volition. 5 years of my childhood, until the age of 5, in California. 5 years of my childhood in Indiana. The other 6 years before I went to university were spent in Alaska, New York, Washington/ Vancouver, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota.

    My "Home" is The Earth. I firmly believe that fighting the current regimes worldwide will result in The Earth being one People, and humanity being the first unified family that makes up that people before I am allowed to die.
