Glass Ceiling exists, but I think it might mean something different, in English it’s used to mean a barrier that is invisible (or not acknowledged) but still very very real.
And yes, I definitely hear you, I really dislike the instinct to doom only and always and irrationally and refusing any acknowledgement of any sliver of hope or happiness,
(In fact I know my thick-headed sense of hope (or at least stubborn refusal to ever accept or assume defeat) seems to upset a fair few folks here 🙃)
but I think what I’m saying is that I don’t see what she does as different than what like 60% of the sub does 🤷🏻♀️
Oh…In my language, it kind of means “I don’t make those mistakes, therefore I can criticize,” it comes from the expression “don’t throw stones if your house has a glass sealing.”
And I also try to be a full-time hopecore fan; sometimes I break down and cry a little, but I never fall into doom.
And to be clear , you aint one of those 60%, you do things that are scary to you and then reflect upon them, you have failures but also have, and acknowledge and speak about your successes , you have bad days and good ones, you’re one of the 3Dimensional people here
And I LOVE how one saying can take on such different meanings across different languages, that’s really cool, especially since “Don’t throw stones from glass houses” is also a saying in English, which means the same thing I gather, basically “Shut up with your criticism if you act the same way”.

Thank you :D
(Also, never want to miss an opportunity to say this, a damned good writer).
