Some days I am incredibly resilient - other days I am listening to Joni Mitchell singing River being blasted out on speakers at our university festive market and crying in the office. #DayJob

This is commendably honest, and I think proof of your inner strength that you're prepared to share it. Actually, though, anyone who cries at Joni Mitchell's River goes up in my estimation. And another reason to love Royal Holloway that it's played on campus.
Refreshing to see honesty like this, Julie. Too often, the carefully curated professional public image we present to the world hides the messy, all-too-human reality of our struggles beneath the surface. I think its empowering for younger people to see these reflections that 'contextualise' success

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
From Still I rise, Maya Angelou
