Final thoughts before leaving the UK

I can't lie, it has been hell here for me for a number of years. Things don't look like they're going to get any better any time soon, so it seems that I have little choice but to get out.

Last summer, after spending around a year dealing with people who were supposed to be friends who were trying their hardest to compromise me and steal my crypto assets, my landlord decided to evict me. I spent 8 months living in a van with no heating or sanitary functions, including making it through a very cold winter. Prior to the eviction I was trying to recover from some substance use issues, which were largely brought about by the aforementioned "friends". Whilst it is true that nobody was forcing me to use these substances, I was at that time very very depressed.

This year hasn't been great either. I've been living in some very temporary accommodation provided by the local authority, it has been a roof over my head, but I am very isolated here. I lost a large amount of my net worth due to Donald fucking Trump chatting shit and causing the markets to badly crash (whilst insiders made millions through the forced liquidations of people like me) all told I probably lost somewhere in the region of $250,000. Before this happened, I had been thinking about getting out of the UK and spending some time in SE Asia, in fact, I had already booked my tickets.

The date those tickets are supposed to be used draws ever closer, and I am departing on the 30th October. As I write this, it is the early hours of October 28th. I have a hire car to collect at 8.00am and two days to pack up all of my belongings and put what I can in storage. I'm going to risk just leaving my vehicles where they are. Not sure if or when I will be returning, but I really don't think it is a good idea for me to deal with another winter here in the UK when I'm depressed, isolated and generally not in a good headspace.

When I arrive in Chengdu, China, hopefully I will be able to adjust my departure flight to Thailand so I can spend 10 days in China, taking advantage of the 240 hour visa free period which they now offer. Certainly seems silly to miss the opportunity to do so.

I don't know how this is going to pan out. An extended holiday would be great. I'm going to be quite budget-constrained, and will likely have to spend a considerable amount of my time trading, since I have far less disposable income with which to pay for accomodation, food, transport etc.

I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to. I'm sick of it here and my life is miserable.

Adios.
