Mona, PROMISE me you'll NEVER hold yourself back or dumb yourself down. EVER. I'm so sorry if anything I said sent you into this tailspin. You holding yourself back won't fix other people's self worth, that has to come from within, not a damn thing you can do about it.
You're a force to be reckoned with, I think there are big plans in store for you.
Why did you delete the email? Good thing you work with IT, so it won't be hard to get back.
Any man would be lucky to have you. If they can't handle being with someone smarter than themselves, they're not really worth it anyways.
