Just taking the world at face value.
I remember coming into my actualization in my late 20s and making the horrific realization that the vast majority of people never go through that.

It’s a scary thought, like the first time I was confronted with statistics about literacy. Googling just now: 21% functionally illiterate (<5th grade reading level) and 54% read below a 6th grade reading level.
We all have different experiences, mine was likely brought on by circumstance as I was raised very conservative fundamental Christian. The lightbulb began to glow in highschool, then brighter in college, but I didn’t fully acknowledge it until later. Even then it took over a decade beyond that to come to terms with my own identity, but that’s a different story in a way.
