Thank you for this open and genuine column. I really appreciate how you describe the tensions in yourself, and the complexities of privilege and oppression in: ” I struggle to cut myself out of the photos where my arms are interlinked with those who still believe in the things that I once did.” There is an important self-reflection that needs to happen in (re)negotiating our relationships with our past and an honest confrontation with ourselves.

You certainly touch on the inherent fuckedupness of bootsrapping as an ableist concept, that is tied to an unachievable notion of productivity and success.

our experiences are some of the most powerful tools we have, thanks for teaching us with yours!
