I had dreams of becoming a physicist because I was inspired early in life to learn about the world and add to human knowledge. I absorbed all I could about the universe and how everything works, I even got as far as placing into advanced classes in a local college, which I was getting 100% scores on… and like with nearly everything else I pursued in life, I had to quit because I had to pay for food and shelter in a crashing economy and lack of opportunities.

I don’t remember a thing that I had learned, I still listen to science documentaries to fall asleep to. I have cycled through the corporate world several times over, lost everything, started over. Nothing gained, I am basically back to start, struggling for even less pay with fewer assets and absolutely no hope of continuing higher education.

I do think about how far I could have taken my ideas I had when I was younger, and what I could have added to our world if I were lucky enough to have been born into a life of generational wealth or been willing to compromise my morals to get ahead.
