Lovely piece! I'd argue that you always at your core were you, but apparently, no one in your orbit knew enough to ask the right questions to help you express yourself. Seems like your later experiences gave you more of that for motivation.

I find it interesting that the publishing industry chases after the young guns, yet unless such guns have had really unusual backgrounds, perhaps tempered by a touch of hardship or privation, and/or are of such exceptional intellect and discipline with the nous to see beyond their immediate needs and creature comforts, they have little to say - while those who are seasoned, who have drunk deep, who have insight, and who otherwise have been around, are ignored.
