RE: Five Years on Hive - I'm Not Sure I'll be Around Much Longer

in #hive3 years ago

You have to make the decision that is best for your health, and your future. Those student debts are horrendous. I didn't realize they were so large in Europe.

Yes, you understand @agmoore, I know you get it. As to the student loans, I was unlucky enough to go to university only 2 years after they scrapped the grant system (for people from low-income families like I am) and changed it to a loan system where you don't have to pay the loan back until you reach a certain income threshold.

It was an invention/idea from Tony Blair's 'New Labour' rebranding socialism that had worked absolutely as it should for years in the UK, into a middle-of-the-road party much more suitable for the global agenda that we've seen played out over the last 30 years. But anyway, I don't really want to get into politics, it is the simple truth that they scrapped the grant system (for people from low-income families like I am) and changed it to a loan system, actually only 18 months before I went to university, as I went later than many people do in my mid 20s.

Whatever decision you make, good luck my friend.

Thank you, as I've said to others in this comments thread, you are someone who genuinely read and gave feedback and encouragement on my fiction, in particular, which I've always allowed my inner demons to convince me was less worthy than it was. The truth is, that all most of my fiction I put on hive needed was a few more edits and sending to an agent lol
