Forgot to add:That, definitely, the key to my future, provided I ever were to have any at all, would not depend on being more "open" to the world, even less on having someone or something "supporting" me (sentimentally, financially, whatever, anything, everything), but on upgrading my ivory-tower vantage point over that world.
Otherwise, I may actually end up like a charwoman, and keep company to Hark!
