The ease with which echo chambers are created and weaponized is unreal.

Watching my late father-in-law, also a Navy Vet, say John McCain was a traitor, was just ... unreal. And he was on Medicare.

Don't give up on your EE dreams. I went to school when I was younger, dug a huge GPA hole, and almost never went back.

I had to go to school part time because I had to work and was the main stay-at-home parent. Took me 7 years. (Also had undiagnosed ADHD. If I had then, the medication I have now, it probably would have been a different story 🤣).

But the real journey is finding what we love. Adversity and struggle suck, but it teaches you to fight.

Good luck, internet stranger, I hope you find the journey you need.
