Can be personal or external but what is something (you believe/see reflected so strongly in reality) AND (!(OR) the world of ideas)

AND but not OR

Please stick to that which you are confident about and holds to at least the spirit of the question

That’s so kick ass!!! So sorry to hear you were forced to flee to leave the country and what it seems a really great place that you worked at as well… I’ve definitely eyeing the same plan as you but just don’t know what country I’d go to. Any suggestions? Also, how long have you been doing the fire eating for? I’m sure you take plenary of caution and lots of training that’s got to be fun to pull out at like a party 🎉 😄

About 10 years. I do lots of other sideshow stuff too so I have a lot of party tricks.

I went to Canada and have been absolutely loving it here. Canada does have its issues, but has overall been a net positive. The overall quality of life and baseline happiness are both much higher than the US. My partner and I have only felt welcomed since we arrived.
