2025-01-17 00:49:50Whatever I have become, it has been held back by the aggressions and deceptions of others. I am responsible for taking myself Higher, though I was not solely the original cause of my lack of capital and ability to afford or even understand the steps needed for career advancement. I may still be missing something painfully obvious to someone else. But I am trying to understand that my actions have a cause and that I am not in any fundamental way a shortsighted person. I lack the skills and connections largely because the system has failed countless people like me, and I happen to be on the bottom rungs still.
