And it's not my fault that my parents were poor and we had to live in public housing. As soon as I was able to leave, I did. I guess in your eyes, that makes me worthy of knowing. I don't know -- and I don't want to internalize this discussion, because it's really beside the point.
You're incredibly lucky to have the life you have. I'm incredibly lucky to have escaped my circumstances. But I guess the difference between you and me is that for me, it doesn't matter where you came from -- the only thing that matters is
where you're going.
