I remember the feeling well. I took responsibility and dropped out a year in. I never said it was easy. I'm sorry I push back. I just think there can be no free society without massive implication of individual responsibility. I can have empathy and also realize who's fault it actually is. I empathize with drug addicts. But I don't pretend to think it's someone else fault they decided to do drugs. No one gets better that way.

its brutal. my early 20s nephew has been passing through the “is this it?” valley.

This is it. You're on your own now!
