Personal Note for the Collective

On any given day, at any given moment, you might believe that freedom and the opportunity to change your path is impossible. You might have yourself convinced, especially with those who seek to hurt you, that you are incapable of overcoming huge obstacles that not only hold you back but are destroying the well-being of your identity and mental health. These beliefs should be disregarded at the personal and collective level. Your freedom is within reach - but you must take the initiative to seize it. This year has been a long, arduous journey. But on a personal note, I have lost close to 100 pounds, sold a book, moved across country (plus zigzagged back again), and also found clarity of mind. These are all elements of a new found sense of freedom, and all of these things have enabled me to become a stronger advocate for the indentured educated class. Onward!!!
