What's your most recent achievement?
I finished writing songs for my new album.
@Rebelspaceoddity - Very cool! What style of music?
@Anomalia
Thank you 🙂. I make space rock/ambient music. Experimental and weird stuff
Received a grant for my education recently which really helps!
Uhhh, other than that- being able to finally tackle my damn college coursework. Feel like I'll overcome my anxiety in this particular course. I don't feel afraid, but there's still some procrastination and avoidant tendencies. Well...I feel a twinge of fear- but not like when I first started. Little by little, y'know.
Ok ok ok already, I get it. Obviously, things are going to happen in a way that benefits the greater good, even at the expense of those who have shown potential and who have suffered human rights abuse and who are considered a protected class. Luck doesn't exist. Nobody gets handed the world and all it offers on a silver platter (at least not where I come from). If you want something, you have to get it yourself. As it stands right now, I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. There is no way I am agreeing to anything at the moment and I cannot play the game without even knowing how to play the game.

Sorry to hear you're feeling so doomed / like the world's against you. Keep on keeping on and try to keep your head above the water if you can.
I feel that way too.. a lot. So you're not alone. Ever. The world can be a struggle, but Struggle on comrade! Struggle on. It can matter even when it doesn't feel like it does.
A few weeks ago, I was offered my dream job. I was so worried and anxious and had basically given up all hopes of ever getting a call. I had zero faith in myself and now I'm preparing to start training for the job I so badly wanted. It made me realize that I need to doubt myself less and just have a little more faith.
@QuietSoul5 sometimes all we need is to stop for a brief moment and realise we're actually capable of a lot of shit we though we weren't.
Winning a small trophy at my school's band banquet! I won the award for Outstanding Upperclassman Musician!!!! I felt so proud of myself since I worked really hard for it and it felt nice to be recognized since I feel underappreciated in band. 😃
I've accepted the fact that I would not be able to push myself any further for my uni work and delayed my graduation until next semester. I am disappointed and embarrassed however.
