I've been telling this to myself over and over in my journal.. It's such a contradictory feeling to want “all this” to be over already and getting to where i want but at the same time knowing that I'll look back and miss where i am now.. even if I'm not quite enjoying it right now. This post made me feel so heard. Thank you <3

The last two paragraphs summarised this essay in an unforgettable way. Progress before perfection. Sometimes backtracking our steps, taking a pause, in a society that rewards efficiency and productivity is essential.
