Gorgeous essay. I hate that I too remember unhelpful feedback from university instructors I didn't even like, long after they have any impact on me.

(one of the design teachers accused me of being angry all the time and letting this color my feedback, when what I actually was was deeply depressed and realizing I was on the wrong path. but that's a story for another therapy session)

I like the pivot at the end very much.

Bravo, Emma!!!! So love this for so many reasons. The third person cracks me up, too, and I wonder if perhaps he “knew” you would think of his words forever. ;)
