I wouldn’t say what I am doing now in my career doesn’t fulfil me, but there is an overwhelming dread that because I am not a doctor or scientist etc contributing to society in a vastly significant way, there is no purpose to my being.

This happens every time after I meet someone who ticks those criteria’s or when I watch a movie about a famous figure (in this case I just finished The Imitation Game, and have an intense urge to pursue Computer Science even though I previously dropped out of a Comp Sci degree and I hate programming!). 

Why do I sometimes have trouble accepting that we are all different and it’s okay to do different things?
