I’m tired boss. I’ve had a really rough semester and I can’t look at my calculus without my eyes glazing over. Now that it’s time for the final I’m looking back at all the concepts I had “breakthrough” moments with… And I got nothing. Can’t remember a lick. I don’t have any gusto in me still, I’m already planning to retake the course but fuck me ive never experienced burnout like this.
Is this normal?
Nothing you do matters, but NOT doing it also doesn’t matter. Whatever you do or don’t do in the end it doesn’t matter, nothing does.
What is that thing in the back of your mind that you truly WANT to do but are scared of failing? It’s not going away, it will re-emerge, gnawing at you every burnout until the end of your life.
It doesn’t matter if you succeed or fail at it, because either way nothing matters, so might as well try it.
