For a little while now, I have been dating a former high-profile lawyer turned diocesan super-priest whom everybody believes will be a bishop in no time. I’m also in the final days of writing up my PhD. My high-achiever boyfriend does not see what the big deal is. He does try, but at the end of the day it’s just a piece of written work, right? Today, a computer scientist came to fix my computer. He was extremely shy, sweet and soft-spoken, with a foreign accent I couldn’t place. A minute after he left, I dissolved into tears and found myself longing for an environment in which the high expectations were gone and we could all be shy, sweet and soft-spoken.
