There are people out there who believe that,
1. Being born in the right, well functioning, balanced family
2. Being born into the right socio-economic status
is not what matters to not be eternally doomed to die alone and never be happy, at least without working yourself to shreds.
Prove to me that this luck is not what truly matters for you to not constantly be in a state of just fuck my shit up, in any way.
Me at 18
>No bank account, no job, depressed loner in HS, poor family (no doctors or lawyers. Most professionally accomplished person is either me or my sister who is a nurse), self-harm, suicidal ideation, no friends, live with mom
Me at 25
>Bank account, legal career ($45K), notable professional/social connections, college graduate, going to law school in August, living with roommate
I worked hard, always enough to stand out among my peers, but not exactly to shreds. My standard is that my minimal level of performance must be only slightly greater than average, although obviously I prefer far greater (and sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not).
If I was ever in shreds, it was at 18, not now. Don't give up.
