In my early 20s, I had a huge project at work, and I was fishing for a raise... unbeknownst to me, someone started the rumor that the two of us were having an affair... This led to divorce, loss of a lifelong friend, job loss, years of doubt and depression, and a complete rethinking of who and what I wanted to be in this life.
Back in the '70s, I started working at 16 by flipping cars as a side hustle. At 18, I became a steelworker... But all the police saw was some long-haired hippie kid who hung around with all the other hippie types.
