Just being widow o me.
Then they proceeded to strip me of my identity and mold me into what they wanted me to be. So, as with so many of my generation, I dropped out, tuned in and turned on. Not necessarily in that order. 😉

It's difficult to maintain proper footing on that ground of potential and restrictions.
On one hand, you don't want to offer false hope while on the other, you don't want to tell a person would maybe could that they cannot.
Guess it's better to let them know the work involved in attaining their goals and let them decide on their own the worth thereof.
Originally posted by FreakyKBHI was growing and learning at a phenomenal rate, then they put me behind walls blocking my view. Everything was crystal clear and I comprehended the light, then they shut me in the dark. I was free, and they made me a slave. I slipped through every crack in the system and got lost in the maze.
