mad respect for making something of yourself despite your shit parents.
>>36395590
To be honest I just "followed the stream".
After high school, college. In college kept doing what professors and advisors recommended.
But here I am, mid twenties and indebted while some of my former classmates are making big bucks and live like people in these US drama for teenagers.
I wish I'd be skilled at negotiations and knew how to speak with repartee.
My only skills are the one I learned sitting in a classroom.

Thank you for the kind words though.

Although your story is much sadder than mine is.
I'll drop down a rundown of what is happening right now. It fuels me.
