I survived 12 years. U?

This is the story of my existence. My time surviving the hell hole was worth recording so I did. My survival techniques could help you, I survived the war, the disease and the death that cascaded throughout the world, this is how I survived until the day I died.
My life I have lived by simple rules until I was forced to come out of hiding and risk everything I have in life and everything I have been taught because some idiot (my brain) thought it would be a good idea to go searching for something to survive with that would be better that the petty existence was stuck with.
It's always the good ones.
