I was supposed to be someone I chose. In this week's episode, Elizabeth gets emotional about her struggles with academia and career expectations growing up. Trying to fulfill someone else's well-intentioned goals can destroy your destiny. I've since had to convince myself I was never a failure, because it was never a fair fight.

There is no Word of the Week this week. I feel this episode deserves to breathe.
