As I am getting closer to the end of my program, I have been feeling a bit weird about my spot in life. If you're feeling similar, I hope this helps you feel less alone. Filmed on Sony ZV1
Thank you for making this video! I feel this so much and I’m sure others do too. I also get bogged down sometimes feeling like I’ve postponed living my life by taking this path. I try to remind myself that I’m in it for the long term investment, and even though my 20s were spent in school, the rest of my life will be that much sweeter because of this investment. We’ll see if that ends of being true 😅 also can’t deny that as I near the end, there’s a big part of me that wants to do something entirely different than I had anticipated. Anyway, I’m rambling! But you’re definitely not alone in how you feel.
Wow... I'm actually surprised you got through the video without shedding a tear or maybe it was cut out. Anyways, I'm glad you realized that great things are equally happening in your life. Also, I think comparison is a trait all humans have that operates/works like fear. It's both limiting and good for survival. Think about it. I actually sometimes also feel I'm behind in life. I'm convinced I want to do a PhD but getting admission has been difficult. For context, I clocked 30 last Thursday. My friends have high paying jobs already. In my country, to get such jobs, I'll either have to be an expert (which a PhD will help me with) or change careers. Point is, I think I can relate with that feeling of being behind in life even though I'm not in grad school yet. I think the best attitude to have is to be GRATEFUL. God has been good to us. P.S. Pardon the typos.
I actually held it together throughout the whole video and was also pretty surprised haha. I'm quite happy with what I have going on in life and it's really not until I look around at my friends that I feel "behind" but in reality, I am in just the right place. Everything will come in time!
