EDITORIAL: BAGGAGE
Last night I was thinking about all of us who grew up with drug-addict & alcoholic parents and had to deal with all of the craziness that came with it. Then, you had to take all of that, and figure out how to navigate being a successful adult, when you never really had a chance to be a child (or any good role models with regards to adulting). The stuff that goes on in your head every day. The pressure you put on yourself. The amount of concerted effort it takes to go against all the negative stuff you were taught growing up. Etc. Sometimes it's a handful. I know I could write a book about everything me and my brothers went through growing up. And I know we weren't the only ones. So I stayed up late last night and wrote this article, entitled "Baggage" to those who were raised in similar situations. Now published on Medium[dot]com. Please read if you have a minute. And share with someone who you think should read it. -Thank you.
