    It sounds to me like you’re flourishing??

    I appreciate the sentiment, but it certainly feels like I’m not. More accurately, I really feel like I’m not flourishing in a sustainable way. Sure, the next three months are going to be a lot of fun doing research and finishing up my graduate degree, but what about six months from now when I’m a washed-up graduate with no job and no school again?

    but with your skills you are at least able to earn enough scratch to probably achieve a lot of this, especially if you can connect with the right folks.

    I applied for over 300 jobs last year with zero offers. I’m autistic and I really have a lot of trouble socializing with people, so I really haven’t been able to connect with the right folks for the most part.

    I would be mentally drafting up a plan to trick you into being my friend.

    I mean my DMs are open 😆
