This is just my vent acc at this point, apologies if it's unprofessional, but I would appreciate any advice from people on the grind like... What keeps you going. What gets you through it?

There's moments here and there of course but I can't remember last when I was genuinely fully satisfied with the state of my life... I don't want to always feel like I'm catching up from falling behind...

Its cuz it's commonly butchered as "Newjen" so they thought they were being funny w "Newj"
A coworker did eventually pull me aside saying "hey I was just gonna rolling with it but if you're offended please tell us and we'll stop calling you that" like, if you already know then stop lol

From coworkers experience and my own manager, it seems people often get promoted as early as 4 months to a year. I'm not sure if this is my endgame career but it's stable and chill enough to let me think about my future

Every day lately has been work, come home, nap, eat, cry, then sleep. I hope one day though all of it will be worth it!

It's not about being perfect, it's being courageous enough to be bad at something while you're learning it at first

This is just my tough shit opinion but if you lack confidence in art you are gonna hit a massive wall that no amount of skill or practice will break because you're mentally holding yourself back

Mhm, like how I learned really quickly I'm not cut out for the medical field despite my initial interest in it. Life is about trying things, so I hate it when people quit before they've truly given it a chance

mhm, some people are too obsessed with the validation of others that they forget why they started in the first place

Maybe I'm just tough about it but I legitimately think if you quit, it simply wasn't for you. There's no shame in that, but don't use someone else's prowess and dedication as your reason for quitting
