We're all only human, Só leigheas! I'm sure circumstances have played a large part in whatever set of outcomes you've experienced.

Maybe I'm naive, but I think sometimes the most troubled of us are the most innocent, because we're the ones who couldn't adapt more readily to what is a very sick society.

The people I run into who are super-successful and act snooty beyond belief like they're above other people and have the right to make others feel badly about misfortunes absolutely sicken me. I'm proud to be a failure! I only wish that it paid a little better.

Wishing you solace in your journey.

Thanks for this!
