I feel like people who dream big all go through this stage in their lives, which is most often a transitional phase between your current life and the one you've always dreamed of. So don't worry, you're not alone, and you will achieve your dreams just have faith in you !!

Thank you! I'm excited to see where I'll be and what I'll be doing in the next 12 months. You're so right, though: This phase really does encourage the biggest changes!!

Okay are you inside my head?!!! I was literally drowning in a pond of all these exact thoughts last night. I think this is what it feels like to be a writer in a digital world. Let’s go live in countryside Italy I reckon

This could not have landed on my timeline at a better time. For me, this pressure to be successful also stems from me comparing myself to my peers. I look at my old college classmates and see how their careers have flourished and here I am, still starting out. I'm not even sure if this is what I want to do. I know life is a marathon, not a race (so cliche) but sometimes I feel like no matter how hard I run or how much I give, I could never catch up with the rest.

I feel like you’ve taken the words straight out of my mouth. This is everything I’ve been feeling this week, I do feel like I’ve gone through a quarter life crisis and I’m already moving to a new city but with no job lined up I feel like I’m back in school getting asked what I want to do at university that will determine my future career. I feel stuck. But T the same time I want to do nothing but also do everything!

Right there with you. I’m exhausted and I want to give into the “self care life just existing vibes”, but also, I must keep trying. Which makes me more drained. And the cycle never ends

Thank you for writing this post! It is so relatable. Being ambitious feels like constantly running on a treadmill (as you stated) but you keep running faster and faster and still can’t stop. You keep chasing success but it never seems to come. You just end up burnt-out wondering why you started…
