“If you don't connect yourself to your family and to the world in some fashion, through your job or whatever it is you do, you feel like you're disappearing, you feel like you're fading away, you know? I felt like that for a very very long time. Growing up, I felt like that a lot. I was just invisible; an invisible person.

To have some impact, and to create meaning for yourself, and for the people you come in touch with.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWorldWayFeelsPersonsLongFeelingsPainJobsFeltStruggleGrowing UpGrowingFashionLike YouSourceGrewGrew UpLong TimeImpactDisappearInvisibleEnormousOur FamilyVisibleFadingFading Away Author:Bruce Springsteen
