This video really resonated with me.

I had to sit with myself for a few minutes to work through how much this video moved me -- and why.

I come from a middle-class family. I did well in school and got myself an associates degree by working part-time in the food industry. I worked hard at a union job, building up a good reputation for my work ethic and getting solid references. Then, I managed to get myself a career with the USPS, which is the best job I've ever had. I may have had to stay with my parents until I was 27 to do it, but I saved up my money and ran my budget forecasts until I achieved my ultimate goal; I bought a house of my own.

I may be aroace and have no interest in ever having children, but I achieved my version of "the American Dream." The realization made me emotional.
