I see the whole concept of Generation X implies that everyone has lost hope.

I think it's child abuse to have someone in the public eye too young. Society basically values wealth and fame and power at the cost of well-being. In the case of a child, it's at the cost of someone's natural development. It's already hard enough to develop.

I want to walk through life.

I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.

How long before my dignity is reclaimed?

All of my unconscious fears were in my face about letting go of the current identity. A lot of the thoughts that came up were fear-based and false, so I had to work to let them go.

The more I know the less tortured I am.
