Our Past and Our Potential Future...

I just finished reading JD Vance's best-seller, Hillbiliy Elegy, and found the author's frankness refreshing.  Though it reads a bit like a documentary on the poor, white lower class society, I found the ending helpful.  We are all born into a story and our childhood experiences shape our thinking.  As we mature, however, we begin to make our own choices that will determine our own story and potential future.

What choices are we making now that could impact a brighter tomorrow?  Good food for thought Mr. Vance!

Here's a link to the book - probably at the library as well:  https://www.amazon.com/Hillbilly-Elegy-Memoir-Family-Culture/dp/0062300547
