Why I’ll Never Fit In Academia: Embracing My True Path

I’ll never fit in with academia, and I’ll always feel like a failure in that world. But that’s not a bad thing-it’s a sign that I’m destined to carve out my own space, one that truly fits who I am. Most of the world doesn’t align with who I am, and that’s a gift. If you spend your life following what everyone else says you should do, you’ll wake up one day and realize you’ve lived someone else’s life, not your own. Don’t fit in; instead, follow the path that makes you who you are, not what others want you to be.
