Tumblr crosspost (25 January 2021)
Shout-out to all the profs who encouraged and supported me when I was in my late teens/early twenties even though I was insufferably obnoxious.
Tagged: #some of them really didn't—but some were great #at a point where i really needed encouragement
[ETA 4/23/2024: obviously I can still be obnoxious, lol, but the concentrated rage of a repressed undiagnosed autistic & bipolar 20-year-old closeted baby lesbian raised Mormon was a very distinct experience that got less intense as I altered my social world. It will always affect me, but a lot of my writing from that period is just kind of consumed in my towering frustration with almost every aspect of my life in a way that became less true over time. I do really appreciate the professors who saw past the abrasiveness of my writing to some deeper potential.]
