For example, if I see someone I’m mildly attached to like somebody else’s drawing I’ll think “I‘m going to become the best artist ever!”, during the start of the coronavirus I looked up how I could get into working in the medical field as a nurse (going so far as to begin planning my personal statement for a nursing degree) so that I could help others and be a hero too, or I’ll see somebody doing great in a particular field of business and consider dropping everything to also work in that field for the validation and “because I can do it too!”

Honestly this has happened so many times in the past except before I used to actually follow through with it only to drop the thing within weeks/month of intensely working on it. I’m much wiser to these urges now but it does get annoying, especially when I know my current career brings me joy in many ways.
