I watch other people get pulled along by someone older who took an interest in them, and I never had that. I don't have a single mentor, let alone anyone pushing doors open for me. I don't even know how you're supposed to find these people without it feeling fake. So I just keep grinding alone and hoping someone notices.
More people experience this than they realize.
You have nobody guiding or backing you and don't know how to find them.
If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
