Well, it's not an easy topic to discuss. That's partially why I brought up the story of my upbringing. Our lived experiences shape the perception of our world. And I admit, I was an overly sensitive, whiny bitch. I let people get to me. Some still do, but I brought up that story to prove the point that maybe, if we don't let ourselves be dragged down by those that sell to keep us down, then we can talk, learn from each other, and grow. That was the second point, learning from others. We should reach out, share our experiences, and mutually grow. Remember that not everybody has the same worldview, and that's fine. Use theirs as an opportunity to expand your own.

Yeah, it's not something I bring up often, to be honest. I feel like it's more restrictive than liberating, even though there are "support services" available. It's too easy to get dragged down in a bureaucratic system that holds you back, rather than helping you grow. That's my opinion, at least...
