I’ll tell you because I encouraged it. You get fired. Your coworkers realize their worth and seek better. You realize it was always meant to crush you and everyone around you into the dirt. You find a dark hole you can’t crawl out of and you learn about the world. You decide you’re sick of it and teach others the lessons you’ve learned. The world slowly becomes a better place, one person at a time. Maybe it gets a little easier for you, too.

I let too many people tell me how to live my life and tried too hard for their approval for too long.

I don’t like the framing of this question.

One day at a time. You’re doing great.

Almost like security isn’t the point…
