I am finishing my masters degree on university level.

I have ADHD and dyslexia, I am ill more often than almost anyone my age I know, for years and years people have been telling me it would be too hard and I wouldn't be able to make it and yet I am finishing a fucking mastersdegree on university level. I must we one smart cookie and a bloody hard worker. So anyone who doubts me (not in the least me) can go and take a walk, because against all odds I am finishing this thing. Because I rock.

There.

And now to remember that.

Mood::

aggravated

location: University of Utrecht

Music:: Grand-Meres et Soufflets - Des trous souls la bâche

Sometimes I think the more difficulties women overcome, the harder they are on themselves. You've got a huge achievement there and you're right, you should remember it.

I'm impressed and pleased for you. You're awesome. :)

Maybe it's because we feel like if we can overcome one thing, we should be able to overcome the next and the next and the next as well. For me at least it's always felt like I should be able to do this or that... And then forget to take the credit for actually achieving it, but come down really hard on myself when it looks like I might not achieve whatever it is.

*shrugs* I really don't know how that works for others but from what I can tell, that's how it works for me.

*hugs* thanks for the encouragement hon, just so you know, you rock as well (Doctor Scribbles! ;))
