You don’t have to be productive to be worth something. Doing more doesn’t make you better or smarter or more valuable. And taking a break doesn’t make you lazy. It makes you human.

Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn’t feel debilitated by it.

So if you’re feeling lost and unprepared, know that it’s just a part of the process. Everyone else has been here before, and they all made it through.

You’re not a bad person. You’re not a disappointment or a failure. You’re just human. You’re still learning and growing and finding your way. And it’s okay. You’ll be okay.
