I'd wanna level with you- some dreams are hard to pursue, especially if you made your life outside of that field. That's how it feels, like there's a wall between me and other authors. They went to college. They got their degrees. What about the workers that had to make ends meet, who couldn't afford college, who couldn't put all their eggs in one basket? Honestly, I'm not sure what to do at this point. But yes, this article very much resonated with me. Thanks.
“But the soul knows when it has been absent from its own agreements.” This is powerful and I find it to be so true. This resonates. Thought provoking article which is well written.

A degree can open certain doors, yes. But writing also asks for attention, honesty, endurance, and a life deeply felt.
Workers have stories. People who had to make ends meet have stories. Sometimes the less direct path gives a voice its own authority.
Maybe the question is not how to become like those who had the straight road, but how to let your road become part of your voice.
Well timed given that’s exactly the counterpoint I’m in now, and how I came to be on Substack. Beautifully written. Thank you

The distinction between acceptance and resignation is an interesting one. I think a lot of people mistake the two.
