Get it off your chest...list your life advantages (privilege)

I was born into a 2-parent household.

Both of my parents worked to provide.

Both of my parents instilled in me a good work ethic.

I was taught morally wrong from right.

From an early age, I was both awarded and disciplined when appropriate.

When 15, my first taste of work privilege was landing a job sweeping a local grocer's parking lot by hand at 5:00 AM M,W,&F. (I still get mad when dirtbags throw their trash out in parking lots)

I graduated in the middle of my class from a public school.

I went to college (state college - half of it on scholarship).

I chose to pursue studies in a field which would lead to gainful employment, rather than what was most interesting to my 18-year-old self.

I had enough tenacity to stick it out for 5 years and earn a degree.

I landed a job before graduating college.

I have hauled my arse to work everyday for the past 15 years and have only taken 2 sick days in that time.

My family is comfortable.

I'm not sure which of those things I should be ashamed of, so I'll leave that to the progs to decide.

Get it off your chest...you'll feel much better.
