I assume so.
Even tho i for some reason i can only read up to “Giving apologies, and accepting them. I know that I can't g...”
I think i can tell this has something to do about you maturing as a person and thinking about what exactly you want to use whatever knowledge you have for

Basically
I want to give to people since I have lived my life recieving.
So what exactly do you want/have to give? Gotta figure out what exactly you CAN do first (i still cant read the whole thing for some reason)

I want to be a winner of at least one Nobel Prize, have discovered at least three new species of dinosaurs and own a very successful Gothic nightclub
Another way of saying this is you are thankful for all that was given to you and you want to return the favor by adding value to the lives of others. Yes, I am the same way.
In fact, the same thing applies for my chess. I originally got into chess because I really wanted to win against a friend of mine who seemed like a chess grandmaster; it was amazing how much they knew! I worked hard (literally for years) and finally achieved my goal of winning in a chess game against them. When I started out, I didn't even know ratings existed (my friend was roughly 1660 chess.com rating at the time) and so of course I had a lot of improvement ahead to get to a realistic chance at beating them; by the time I finally was able to win against them, my chess.com rating was in the 1700s or so and approaching 1800.
Anyway, the reason I bring up this story is because although I worked a lot on my own (I reached over 1500 chess.com rating basically all on my own), I knew the struggle of improvement and was fortunate to several chess friends (some in-person and some on chess.com) who were willing to offer advice and give me practice against a higher rated players).
I appreciated this generous help a lot and one way I give back is by now offering similar advice and help to those lower rated than myself, now that I have learned a lot and become a higher rated player.
In fact, I even started a YouTube channel to help others with chess

but I'm also still pretty active in the chess.com forum threads and occasionally upload a blog post. I'm happy to give others the help and guidance I was lucky enough to have, or even guidance I wish I had sooner.

Okay, I've been thinking on something, and I don't know where it came from, but I will share it. And this kinda goes as a question to everyone.
How do you want to live your life?
I know it's weird of me to talk about this, and if anything, I doubt anyone asked or cares, but I want to live as someone who can give. Someone who gives to the others as repayment for everyone who has given to me. Rather it be knowledge, money, love, or anything, I want to live my life by giving. I wish I could repay everyone for everything they've given me, but that is simply impossible. I have recieved too much in my life so far to repay. My foster mother. My friends. My siblings. My actual parents. The people who liked me but were ashamed of speaking out. Everyone. I cannot repay this debt that I owe. Yes, I am going a bit extra here with the example, but I mean it. I am grateful for everyone. So I want to live my life giving to people. Rather that be having children and giving them discipline, love, money, worldly objects. Or using my knowledge to become a teacher, and giving people the knowledge they need to succeed. I want to give. I can't express that enough. And it's a shame I've hindered my ability of doing such, by being rude, liking dark offensive humor and reflecting that onto others, saying things to people that should never leave one's mouth, and more. And I believe I can only have those things lifted off of me by giving. Giving apologies, and accepting them. I know that I can't give my way into everything, and I don't feel as though I have to give in every scenario. And I would say more, but I can't say anymore.
Sorry for the long paragraph, I usually never type in that way unless for school or actually being serious. But I leave you with this. We will breathe our last one day. Why die knowing you have only wronged people, when you can die you have done wrong, but have at least left people with a good picture upon your departure.
See you all, rather that be on the internet or real life.
