    Semi-common experience. What’s everybody who’s gone through it doing about it today?

    I try to remind myself “criticisms” are usually just observations. They rarely need a response, even the ones coming from yourself

      I just accepted a long time ago that being “smart” didn’t mean I was actually good at anything other than calculus - which it really worth approximately jack.

      And then I looked at where I was in life, and where I wanted to be, and saw that if I wanted to traverse from A to B, I would have to work really, really hard. So I did that.
