I didn't quit and because of that succeeded in spite of the obstacles.

There is your example.

Trust me... being on disability was an option and quite tempting.

I wanted more out of life than to sit around letting others take care of me.

You know that statement, the plural of anecdote is not data?

Lots of people struggle and what you're describing is just crab bucket. You struggled so you think it's okay if everyone does.

It's not.

Not struggling through life would be what I call privilege. Someone did struggle and gave you that privilege.

No one coasts through life without someone struggling.
