RE: How gaining a lot of weight pushed me towards becoming a better person – An ongoing personal transformation and self-discovery journey (Part 1)
Now that is an inspirational post. Getting a PhD can be such a difficult task that I didn't start, I stopped with an M.A..
You did a great job and it's great that you can be proud of yourself.
@readingdanvers Sometimes I wish I had never got into the PhD ordeal and had started accruing work experience instead. It has been a blessing and a curse at the same time.
The elephant in the room is that many people suffer from either exacerbated or freshly triggered mental issues through it, and somehow a lot of people think that is "normal".
Thanks for your feedback!
Now that's something you should write about: the "normalcy" of earning a PhD lol.
@jiujitsu I might do! That's actually a very good idea for a post.
I think it would be interesting to read :)
I don't think it's an elephant in the room anymore, there's a lot of growing awareness around the issue. Even in my M.A. people just took extensions overs extensions to keep things balanced, but I guess it depends, I just studied Literature, nothing important.
I am not a believer of regrets, you did it, learned from it, and learned that it's not for you. If you wouldn't have you would have wondered what if.
