Chief
It's hard to sit back and reflect and be happy where you are. But, you are part of the way there!
I suggest making a list of the positive things in your life and hanging it on the fridge. Sometimes, seeing it in writing helps see things more clearly.
Keep pursuing that MA, but recognize that the degree won't miraculously change your life. There will always be peaks and valleys. That is what makes life enjoyable.
Thank you, I will.
Regarding the MA, I know it won't change it but my relatives have been all A students and I made it my dream to graduate with 1:1, anything lower feels like failure
Remember that your career will be long and getting promoted a year later than planned won’t matter in the long run.
Eh hem.
Rough few years here
Does anyone experience the same? I just focus on the top 10% of people and feel like 💩 in comparison, like my life is a failed mess and none of the things I have achieved already does matter, it is exhausting. I acknowledge that I'm in a bubble of high achievers, privileged people, which distorts my perspective on the average person's life, but I also have this inner voice that leads me to never be satisfied and do whatever it takes to avoid complacency and mediocrity. Who's right?
Rough few days? Try few months for some of us
