After a lot of thinking, reflecting on everything I’d been through, and yes, a bit of ego and perfectionism, I decided to stay and fight. I was close to leaving.
The hardest part was that I didn’t really have anyone to talk to about it. So I kept it all in my head. That’s dangerous for many reasons, especially for health.
But the next few days in the office… they felt different. Some exciting research, new developments, and small sparks. Maybe enough to keep going - at least for a while longer.
