Just not possessed of much in the way of solid ground to stand on right now.

I know you don't believe that I can empathize with your situation, because I never had a family, a culture, or traditions that I was proud of. To some extent you're right; I didn't have those things, and it makes it very difficult for me to really understand why it hurts you to have lost or given it all up.

But I do understand what it is to be building from what seems like nothing. I also know what it's like to do it more than once, to have your life stripped away repeatedly. So long as you're alive, Manuel, there is still the opportunity to rebuild. Even if it means rebuilding yourself into an entirely new person.
