She left America to escape Trump. Now she wants her privileges back.

In today’s episode of “actions have consequences,” we bring you a sobering (yet wildly revealing) monologue from a young American woman who fled to Costa Rica in political panic… and now deeply regrets it. Her words, not ours.

There’s a lesson here—one that anyone flirting with the idea of leaving the U.S. because of “the state of things” should take to heart. Let’s let her do most of the talking, because frankly, you can’t make this stuff up:


“If you’re an American who is considering leaving the country to move somewhere else,
make sure that the location you choose isn’t based off of fear and lack mentality.
I regret moving to Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful country, I love the nature and wildlife,
but moving to a third world country where I don’t know the language, I don’t have any
connections, resources, or opportunities, that didn’t make my life any easier by any means.
I was just so scared of what’s going on in America politically that I was in fight or flight. I was
like, how am I gonna afford to survive? Like how am I gonna find a place to live? Like I was
freaking out and then I came here and made my life so much harder and now I’m trying to go back
and I just like wish I didn’t leave in the first place. And it’s so weird to like want to move to
America right now with everything that’s going on, but I just left so many privileges and resources
behind and I want them back.”

Yep. Turns out “privilege” wasn’t such a dirty word after all.

“It sucks, but I kind of grew up in an interesting way. I was like
the poorest person in the wealthiest rooms throughout most of my childhood. I was extremely
wealthy till I was like age six.
I had this beautiful waterfront mansion with a private
beach and pool and then my parents got divorced and I ended up with a parent who didn’t have money.
So we were living out of like trailers and hotels and lower income housing, but I was still in these
really wealthy situations. Like I was in private school and cotillions and dance lessons and
I always thought that I was so poor because I was the poorest person that I knew and all of my
friends had like millionaire and billionaire parents.
Now that I’ve traveled I’ve seen like
real poverty and I’m like oh I wasn’t poor.”

An honest realization. When you’ve only known luxury, the real world hits a little different.

“But as a kid I had these really luxurious vacations
through my friends and family members where like my first introduction to Costa Rica it was like
when I was 17 years old. I came with my friend’s family and we stayed at exclusive resorts.
We were having lunch at the Four Seasons and like same with my Hawaii experiences. My family friends took
me and we stayed at the Grand Guayalea and the Hyatt. All these really fancy luxury resorts and
we would explore the areas too, but you know living in Nanavale or Pahoa is very different
than taking a vacation at the Grand Guayalea or Four Seasons.”

There’s a vast difference between visiting a place on someone else’s dime and trying to build a life there without roots, language, or a plan. Shocking, right?

“So you know my travels and moves
I’ve really realized how privileged I’ve been and there’s a lot of things that like made me run away
from LA and Orange County. Some traumatic experiences and terrible people, but I left a
lot of resources and great people behind and I need to be in those environments again.
I really miss luxury environments.”
