    That in pretty much every single sense of the word I’m an absolutely pathetic loser.

    I didn’t think I’d ever be anything special, but I also didn’t think I’d be 38 and single for going on a decade, living in someone else’s garage, working in a factory in a dead end position with no degree and not an ounce of self worth to even presume to choose a direction.

    10 year old me couldn’t wait to be an adult, but after seeing me I think 10 year old me would never want to grow up knowing what I’d eventually become lol

      10 year old would probably be proud you have a job, no responsibilities and can stay up on the Xbox or whatever all night.

      Hey dude, I don’t know you and I don’t know anything about you. I do know that everyone, even people you would never expect, have value. You are amazing just for being you. If you find things you enjoy, do those things. 10 year old you may be prouder of you than you think, even if it’s because of how you have kept on going when things have gotten tough. I hope you feel that.

        I appreciate the kind words! Empathy is proving to be increasingly more rare in society so I appreciate you wanting to express that.
