The Earth I came from, I had to do a lot of the same things you've done. I had to hide, I had to run, I had to stay with friends until I got ran off from them.
Now here, I have land to my name, a job that pays well, and... well, it's basically the second chance at life that I always wanted and was never going to be afforded where I came from.
I know it's not exactly the same, but... just, I can relate.
