i only regret not leaving the place when i had a dutch passport in 2004, instead i waited another 8 years to get fed up with how much friction and red tape there was for me trying to run my own freelance business... in 2012 it became obvious that there was no way i was ever escaping from being long term unemployed and welfare dependant

sure i have spent a few years here in europe since then homeless, but i also have been able to get work, and actually accumulate money
