You remind me of someone I care about very much. No one should suffer any kind of suppression of their dreams. The person I am thinking about has a college debt that dwarfs her potentially ever being financially free, but I want her to be, and who suffered because a fellow English professor made working at that school impossible. Her intelligence is ferocious. She has ADHD. She is the most interesting and intelligent person I have ever known. I believe you and she are in store for success. She works in UX design and taught herself. I sense great intelligence and truth from you. I send my love.
