If I wasn’t achieving, I was failing. Rest wasn’t just a luxury—it felt like an indulgence that wasn’t allowed unless I had approval.

I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. I chalked it up to some kind of survival lesson or spiritual lesson regarding the human journey and my personal growth in perspective and resilience.

This matters because it tackles the different issues that disadvantaged people encounter.
