A lot of where we end up in life is only a little bit related to our own choices, it's mostly due to our environment and how our parents shaped us. If it was so easy to figure shit out while starting from a poor foundation, everyone would've done it. Fat kids come from fat parents, poor kids stay poor and come from poor parents.
I actually never met anyone who started from zero or the negative and rose above it dramatically, I am sure they're out there but nearly everyone who has it good got there because of parental investment, even if the parents themselves may not be super rich or successful. But the parents were present, or they tried, or they weren't complete fuckups.
The older I get the more I gain a frame of reference and realize looking at my childhood that I never had a chance to be normal. It also helps me blame myself less.
