we are all equal and you will fight this demon inside you that says you are less than a lot of other people. You have to find either a set of people far far away like what I did or one or two people really really close to you or maybe it's both that will remind you in key moments of your life that that is true. Otherwise you will give in to that beast and it's not the end of the world and you'll recover from it. I've made a lot of mistakes but it requires a lot of energy and sometimes it's just easier to just stop and give up. Figure out a way where you can just do work that validates you and where you feel like you're developing some kind of mastery. Who cares what anybody else thinks about it? Preserve optionality. How you do that is by regulating your reactions to things. Your reactions are going to be largely guided in moments where you think that you are not the same as everybody else and specifically that you are less than those people and you're not. But that is my biggest learning is I am equal. I'm the same as all these other people and you can imagine what that means to me to go out in the world to see people and think I'm the same as this person. I'm as good as them and you could imagine what you're probably thinking of what I'm thinking is not that thing. You're probably thinking I'm so much better. No, I am fighting this thing all the time.
