Damned if you do damned if you don’t if you’re a commie

Yeah that's basically the long and short of it. I grew up in apartments in a place that's too low to the sea level for basements, so I never got to be basement dweller, lol. Also I had to move out when I was really young. I was raised by my grandparents and they were running out of money and needed to move into a smaller apartment. I would have spent my college years on their couch without a bedroom of my own if I hadn't moved out. The total lack of privacy during the formative years of my early adult hood would have driven me crazy, so I'm glad I did it even though it resulted in me coming close to total destitution a few times.
