Ahhh...portfolio school. Back when I didn't know a single industry acronym. I didn't refer to any of my writing as a WIP, and I had no clue what an IR was. I was so young and stupid...in 2024. But although I won't be young forever, I think (and hope) I'll still be a little stupid. 

I've learned that writing down all of my dumb ideas, anecdotes, and questions paves the way for some of the best insights to crawl their way out of the inner depths of my brain.

ESPECIALLY the stupidest, craziest, dumbest, messiest, most insanely human ones. Thank you, book180, for teaching me how to make use of those, btw.
