Loneliest experience is getting an education 🇲🇽 One of the most loneliest experiences you can have is getting your education, but your papás and your familia never gonna understand the sacrifices that you have had to do in order to get your degree. A veces ahorita mi familia dice que like, oh, they think that you're presumido because you want to go to USC, you know? I busted my ass to get to USC. I used to walk to Starbucks every single day to apply for scholarships. No tengo papeles, soy inmigrante. I had to learn everything on my own and without the help of mentors. People, strangers that didn't even know who I was, but they believed that I had something in me and I also believed that I wanted more for myself. And so many people often project their own insecurities onto you because they have created a narrative. And I'll tell my familia, like, oh, ever since you graduated from USC, like, you're doing so much better. And I was like, when did I say that? Tell me quickly, when did I say that? I have never done that. My actions have always shown to celebrate you, to help you apply for projects, to review your essays. When did I ever say that? You are projecting your own insecurities and not the villain that I am, the villain is you. You are the villain of your own story because you are scared of failing rather than trying. Whereas me, I'm not fucking scared of failing. I have failed multiple times to be at the spot that I am right now. Never, you know, like, do you know the sacrifices a person makes to get the blessings that I have? And I tell people like, I will never lower my intelligence for you because you feel. I had to study to feel intelligent because there were people that were more smarter than me. And I was like, I want to be like that. And I put in the fucking work. So now I don't fucking humble myself for anyone. Because I know I'm smart. And if you feel like that, look into yourself and ask, why am I projecting these things? Is it because I'm jealous of them? Or is it because I'm frustrated where I am right now? And, you know, and I tell you like, getting an education, como latino, como inmigrante, someone that's poor, all these different things, it's so lonely because there's so many people that project their insecurities onto you.
