I worked so hard to reach here… and now I don’t even feel happy
0 support0 reactions0 replies
For the last few years, I had one clear goal.
And I really pushed myself to reach it. Long hours, saying no to things, constantly focusing on the next step.
Now I’m finally here.
The job I wanted. The kind of stability I was working towards. On paper, everything looks good.
But I don’t feel how I expected to feel.
There wasn’t any big moment where I felt proud or happy. It just felt like… okay, what now?
Instead of feeling satisfied, I mostly just feel tired.
It’s like I spent so much time chasing this one thing that I didn’t think about what happens after I get it.
And now I’m here, and I don’t even know what I’m aiming for anymore.
Has anyone else felt like this after achieving something they really wanted?
What did you do after that?
What the author wants right now
I just want to vent
Best replies here sound like: “That makes sense.” “That sounds exhausting.” “I can see why this hit hard.”
