    there is a whole class of blogger types out there that have lived incredibly sheltered lives of privilege that then go on and tell me that they had this wonderful insight into life that people like me used to call "common sense."

Thank you for saying this. I can see now why I can't see the way you think: it's because I was one of those sheltered children.

This was important for me to recognize. In a weird way, it's inspiring: as if I was given permission to do something about my life, to make it better.

Any advice on what to do to step into the "real world"?
