Mentorship is so important, weirdly I never had a mentor but serve as a mentor for many young men. I guess sometimes you can create in yourself that which you needed from the world.
I sincerely hope my current therapist does not read this, as he is the first therapist I have had who treats me with any degree of respect, aka calls me on my bullshit and engages me as an authentic human. Same for me though - had to wade through a lot of shit until I found someone who had a sincere desire to bring out the best in me rather than work through their shit, through me.
