We all have our own journey
Mine had homelessness, construction work, landscaping,military service, disability and the GI bill, university, grad school, …
I’ve had Some shitty jobs that paid well, and some great jobs at minimum wage.., it can be difficult for a free spirit/ creative person to find their place in the world, it takes, looking, and trying, and trial and error, introspection and some hunger, and a shot of luck and keeping your eyes open to seize opportunities. Some find their place young, some of us later.
I was a fat old cancer survivor before I found my place. Source is on his journey, and he has the courage to lay it out in public. I respect that.
I drive a truck that is old enough to drink, my contractors and those I supervise make more money than I do, but I am willing to ride my bike 15 miles to work in the morning, fight with my bosses to get the resources to get my job done, and get satisfaction from my work. That’s what Source is trying to do.
I hope he has success, however he wants to define it.
