After getting back from Thailand I realized America is very different in some regards. There are a lot of countries you can move to and become a citizen but the people wont ever see you are truly one of them. For example, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Norway are all great places to live but you wont really become “one of them”. In America and Canada if you are a citizen you are seen as one of us waaaaay more so than almost anywhere in the world, this makes us stop at “im american” or “im canadian” because we accept it but other places just see things differently culturally l.

I think seeing life as a game can be very powerful regardless of how you do it. It makes problems less overwhelming and easier to step back from, goal more sensible and achievable and helps with doing what makes you happy when you can unpack it from all the societal bullshit and seeing it as just doing what you want.
