Oh sister, I can relate to this so much. I also have a master’s and interesting life experiences. I also often hear “What would you know about being tired?” or “What’s it like to have free time?” or “Do you know how spoiled you are to be able to do what you want when you want?”

I’ve gotten to the point where I constantly feel defensive, ready to justify my existence and validate my life circumstances. Which is RIDICULOUS. I’m trying so hard to unplug from that and just let go.
