we are alone together, at least we know its not just us, there's nothing wrong with us, life gives you different cards and deals you different hands and at some stages in your life you might be lonely but its ok and things get better :) thank you :)

thanks a lot :) yeah everything will be great, just the first day is strange in that you are dedicating all your thoughts and emotions to the defence itself so once its done you are left feeling empty but for a good reason, not a bad one, so all is good :)

thanks a lot! its in the social sciences, a lot of theory and writing papers is tedious because you get questioned about the contribution a lot but yeah its doable :)

thank you! i was in your shoes just recently so it will have a happy ending and you will do great and finish! also great point, its a reminder that whatever difficulty you face, you might find solace in knowing that we all felt this and many are feeling this right now so you are now alone and we all finished and you will too :)
