There is a contest going on and you can join too.

The description was something like this:
Here at Inner Blocks, we would love to read or watch a time that someone supported you in one of your blocks!
Did they train with you while you were preparing for a race?
Did they give you a map before you left on a big trip?
Did they subject themselves to your experimental recipes and love you through your mistakes? wait, that might just be my family, lol
Or do they support you daily while you are trying to figure your life out?
Whatever it is, we want to know!
The truth.
I can not mention 1 single person that ever helped me or showed me the way.
I am an unwanted kid, molested, abused, nearly starved for hunger, spent my life in hospitals and with doctors.
No one ever felt pity for me, guided me, reached me a hand. No family member, no teacher, no neighbor, no doctor, no CPS, not one single person. I left at the age of 15 with nothing.
Really no one?
Yes, there was one person I could count on and that was me.
I had the luck not to be born stupid plus I have a strong will and self-esteem. I already had that as I was a toddler or perhaps a baby (born too early at home never taken to a hospital).
My common sense told me what was wrong and right. I read a lot and saw the world around me. I knew exactly how I did not want to be.
I never smoked, been drunk, used hard or soft drugs. I never partied, only studied and studied, worked and studied and worked to improve my own life.
I never was afraid to be alone, to move again and start a new life elsewhere.
No one guided me I found my way and all solutions for problems on my own. I did so at a time computers did not exist.
Today I am still dealing with everything alone.
I remember what someone said.
My granny for example. I only saw her for a short period in my life.
If it comes to memories. Nothing wrong with mine. I checked many out about 1 year ago and they are confirmed by complete strangers to me.
I have hardly any respect for people who watch at the sideline but do not act.
Since years I find no excuses for their behavior. Great, they are afraid of those rich and famous people who people we're my family and depend on them, but that is no excuse to watch a little child been beaten up with a dog's chain day after day.
The circumstances build you, make you what you are?
Partly. I have plenty of reasons to be a serial killer, grab a gun and start shooting at schools, teachers, in the neighborhood, the mal but I don't.
I doubt any judge/lawyer would consider the life I had. Only men seem to have the right to be confused and kill people for no reason.
It is character that guides you and makes you to what you are. Reason and common sense. You can blame others for your misery or make the best out of it and look forward.
My parents did not give me any values and norms.
They crossed every border, preached from the Bible around the clock but did not live by the rules themselves.
Still, I knew the difference between right and wrong. How? By observing thinking, wondering, looking for answers that make sense (not the ones I liked to hear).
