The biggest risk I’d like to take is to sell everything I own, purchase a skoolie or similar, and just travel across the states. Never in my life have I been in a better position to do this very thing than I am right now.
So what’s holding me back if there’s no better time than now? Two simple reasons.
First and most importantly is the fact I’d have to leave my s/o behind. I wouldn’t have enough money to support the two of us after she quit her job. I couldn’t take off and leave her especially after what she’s sacrificed for me. In my younger years I would not have given as much consideration, but I’m no longer that person.
Second and possibly just as important as the first reason, is the fact that I am not as physically capable of defending myself as I used to be. While I do carry, As the US continues its downward spiral into chaos-for-political gain, I believe my age, race, and obvious physical limitations paints a target on my back.
While I am capable of defending myself through lethal force, the idea that I could take someone else’s life in the defense of my own and yet still have my freedom stripped away in order to benefit political propaganda does not settle well with me.
