I’ve never been valuable to the world. But now I’ve gone through a bunch of shit and know things people who haven’t been through that shit don’t know.

Should I try to share that? I’m not really done trying to be helpful, you know? I haven’t spread my own wings yet, despite being old.

So should I just give up to make space for young people who want to feel that, or should I chime in with what I’ve learned.
