Thanks for sharing, props to you for getting out of your situation. I fully respect doing what has to be done to get by, but I think its still worth pointing out that achieving what you had done would have been considerably more difficult if you had stuck to the straight and narrow like society would have wanted - to the larger point that there are systemic issues that in fact do inhibit the agency of people.
