Love this and that you talk about the sense of lack .... I’m reading this while working ( subbing) and chilling while doing so .. learning myself not to sweat the job treat it as a lack to be outrun but a way to bring in cash so that I can orchestrate my life ... I was raised to believe that a prince would come and care for me .. each time blew up in my face and so this Cinderella is also buying her own glass slippers 👠... though it would have or would be easier to have a prince’s help when I think that my autonomy might be cramped ... I breathe a sigh of relief for my singleness.

Brilliant! And I did not remember-- if I ever knew -- that it was a RISD course that provided impetus. Love the course name. This piece should become a must-read for young girls.
