DIY: the PhD Edition. Chapter VIII: Thesis and Imposter's syndrome.

I haven't written in a while because I've been busy doing a little something known as thesis.

This.
Because of this, I haven't been able to write anything in here. It has been trying and tiring, but I will talk about it another time.

The main thing is that I went to pick it up from the printing service yesterday and as I had it on my hands a sense of dread filled me. I had done that, but was I good enough? Did I really deserve it? Did I get it out of pity? Imposter's syndrome hit me hard. And there was nothing I could do about it. Why did I have to feel like that on that day? Why couldn't I feel happy? I don't really have an answer to that, I only know that I felt like that and that I'm still not convinced I'm worthy of all of this. I've worked for it, yes, but did I work hard enough?
