A: not to ruin the lives of my family members and friends (or ex friends etc) with the knowledge that they couldnt help me ... i wouldn't want them to feel guilty
and of course, i'd stay because maybe some day i could help someone in some way, or maybe i could still find someone to love who would also love me, and... well lots of reasons. nice weather. snow. and books. lots of books.
Q: have you ever broken a bone?
