I decided to write something again. I've been busy since I last did so, and much life has been lived.
I had to get away from social media and the internet. When I met a lot of my friends online, the internet was still fairly new. The advertisers and powers that be hadn't really figured out how to use it against us yet. You could talk to people from all over the world and get to know them. You could find them human and relatable and come to the understanding that we're not all that different from one another. Most of the differences are culture-deep, and not insurmountable. It's how I ended up in the Netherlands via the most convoluted of routes.
