    He is so genuine and so happy he has done so well. And his line of "breadwinner by guilt not by choice" I'm sure that resonates with a lot of people. Hopefully he reaches many milestones and can help lots of people.

    I would never let my younger cousins feel like they had to dig me out of a hole I dug up from the get go, but it seems a lot of us have experienced this from our families and it makes us feel this anxiety to be not even just good enough for us but good enough to provide for literally everyone in our life just to prove we care, at that point it's more than care it's taking on this responsibility that was never ours. smh
