Main lesson from my 20s:
- I’m not a failure for struggling. The oligarchy is rigged against the populace. The system is working correctly, it just wasn’t built to work for me.
Main lesson thus far from my 30s:
- As a middle aged person, I have more ability to change things for myself and others than I thought. Now that I am (slightly) stable and surviving I can work on making things better! Learning to make things, repair things, etc. Volunteering with community groups & co-ops. Remembering that I have a lot of skills and I can use them for my neighborhood, not just at my job!
