Thank you for saying this. I can see now why I can't see the way you think: it's because I was one of those sheltered children. This was important for me to recognize. In a weird way, it's inspiring: as if I was given permission to do something about my life, to make it better. Any advice on what to do to step into the "real world"?there is a whole class of blogger types out there that have lived incredibly sheltered lives of privilege that then go on and tell me that they had this wonderful insight into life that people like me used to call "common sense."
Don't be a dick. This includes not being an ass to the guy you look at in the mirror. Everyone is fighting the same battle in their head that you are. Don't make their war any harder than it is. Leave the place better than you found it. AKA all the liberal hippie stuff in every religion ever.Any advice on what to do to step into the "real world"?
