Hampshire gave me the confidence and the support I needed to think for myself and be myself. It gave me hope that we can at the very least carve out pockets of the world where you don't have to choose between autonomy and connection, self-agency and the supporting the agency and flourishing of others.
I would not be the person I am today without Hampshire. I would be a much smaller, much sadder, much more pessimistic person.
I am grieving very strongly the sense of hope that Hampshire represents to me. What kind of world do we live in, that a place like Hampshire can't survive? A world of fear, a world of conformity, a dog-eat-dog world.
