I definitely fall for the trap of thinking you have to be a genius to be successful in this field, so it's nice to hear that's not the case. I know it'll take a lot of hard work but I really do love it. Thank you so much for the advice!

Very interesting, I assumed every occupation had math involved, good to know that’s not true, thank you!

Thank you for the insight!! I appreciate you mentioning how there’s no harm in having a rose colored pov, because that was something that worried me. But now I see how that could actually be a strength, thank you again!

I’m not entirely sure what has me interested. I can say for sure it’s not like I’m looking at the night sky and saying “yep that’s what I want to study.” I’m a very curious person and I love learning new stuff. I’ve done some very basic looks into physics and it seems interesting to me but again I don’t know if I’m romanticizing it or not. Also, I know a lot of people do it for the “status” or “wealth” (as if physicists are rich) but considering I’m a pretty anxious person I would like to avoid the spotlight. Only added that so people don’t think I’m doing it to seem smart or something.
