Kifu is when they use uza to smash you into a box that's smaller than you are and then they seal it by putting it in a furnace and then they leave you in there for twenty years.
We just have this frame of reference around our income being low. (Seasonal farm work; housecleaning/restaurant work; and the worst of all, a "fixed" income.) So we've always looked to our writing/art/song lyrics, as some hope of breaking out of that.
I guess that's called, *better* survival. Being one of the 'working poor', sucked. Being one of the 'poor disabled', sucks out loud.
And social skills. I know a couple people who do make it as freelance creative types, and their talent is only mediocre. What they have is a healthy dose of narcissism, and they go around networking, touting their work to everyone under the sun.
I know the dream though. You have to do what you're good at in order to get into a job track that eventually leads out of the low income trap.

Three cheers for talent and education....
