I got what I wanted. Why am I unhappy?

…Thank you for having me. All right, it's time for a recap. Take away one. Give yourself time to adjust to big shifts or sit with your accomplishments before you make any more big life changes, because there's still a transition period, even when you get something you wanted. Take away two, try not to shame yourself for any feelings of ambivalence. Just consider them information, and remember that even good things have their downsides. ◈ 17:45 Feel what you feel and then think about what adjustments you might need. Take away 3. Think about what internal experience you're hoping to have in life, what fulfillment and happiness might feel like specifically for you, and then think about whether your goals seem like they'll get you there. Lastly, remember that while your accomplishments can make your life better, they don't determine your value, and they tend to come with new challenges.
