food for thought

Yesterday I had a conversation with a broker. He said "when we were kids that was living. No worries, no fear... And when we grow up its like we're in survival mode!" And then I asked, "what happens when we're in survival mode as kids?" And his response was "those are the people who can't function in life"
Sadly, this is me. And my entire family. Maybe we can function, but we are dysfunctional and totally "F-ed up"
