A big week

A series of fortunate events.

Validity

Working on my dissertation proposal edits and learning how to define success for myself.

Correspondence

Recovery from depression has changed how I relate to people.

Acculturation

Organizational culture—specifically the Competing Values Framework—informs how I process what I’m learning about myself in therapy.

Processing

Data, data, data.

Living out loud

My story matters because it means there is hope.

Repeat after me

My mantra for when I fall into the trap of comparing my insides to other people’s outsides.

The ways in which

How.

This train still runs

It’s been a difficult year so far, but I have persevered and gotten stronger.

The difference a day makes

Who I was then is not who I am now. That’s good and challenging at the same time.
