when you are able to have a true perspective on your past, that you have successfully overcame
i always like to say that i grew up poor, i lived in a trailer house, i don't remember having more than a pair of jeans to wear and i still like to sleep with the house freezing because that is the way i slept in the winter.
i speak of mediocrity and how i would love to achieve it......it dawned on me, i was less than that growing up
i never excelled in school, i had issues with personal hygiene without the guidance of a woman, i lived in a run down trailer that my adoptive father used the underneath for storage, there was a catamaran in the front yard (we lived in Oklahoma, really), and the winner is.......when i went to California to see my grandparents we slept in the back of the truck at night.
ladies and gentlemen, i was white trash
