“I Haven’t Achieved Anything Yet, and I Don’t Know What I Am Doing!”
Does this sound familiar? Be honest, did you have this thought at least once today? I don’t know about you, but for maybe a week, this is all I have been thinking about. Hopping on LinkedIn definitely didn’t help. As much as I am happy about my peers succeeding and inspired by other people’s achievements, it would be amazing if I had something of my own to celebrate. And no, this isn’t a sympathy post. I am writing this because if I don’t have what I want, it’s because I am not doing what’s required. This is me, giving a shot at what I want.
Now you might be confused about this post, especially if you don’t know anything about me. So let me introduce myself- Hiiiiii, I am Nayan. I love cliche motivation and inspirational stuff, so I also create content on Instagram (@mindoomph). Don’t check out my LinkedIn profile because I don’t want another comment about “Why I pursued masters in biotech and now am doing something totally unrelated!”
My answer is, “I didn’t want to regret missing out on this interest of mine. I still LOVE biology and will definitely pursue a Ph.D. at some point in my life, just not now! But all of what I do is pretty strategized, within constraints, and with a lot of edits. And that limits my flow of writing.
So long story short, I want to overcome my fear of not being enough, of feeling like what I write isn’t worth reading, and of thinking that no one will relate. I want to gain the confidence to share my pieces with pride. And because confidence comes doing, starting today until the end of the year, I will force myself to write here—raw and unfiltered (Coz I think LinkedIn could really use that).
This will help me with two things. One is that I will be forced to write more because I am promising you that I will, so that will make me more accountable. And second, I will have the honor to share my thoughts and stories with you. I really hope to keep this up.
Until next time, Adios amigo!
