Hi Future me,
How have you been? I hope you're mentally in a better place. I hope that the anxiety attacks are not as frequent. Please, please, talk to mum about seeing a therapist. We both know that it will do us good; maybe even group therapy, but baby steps.
This time in April you were anxious about your future, what you wanna pressure as for your Master. I have been looking at colleges from all over India. I can hear mum protesting at the prospect of me leaving the house, but we know that this step is crucial. Doesn't matter if we "die of starvation", "forget to pay bills", "get late for college", "have takeout every day", etc. You're 20 years old, it's high time we moved out (even for 2 years), so we can grow beyond the protective cocoon of comfort provided by mum.
Of course, it wasn't easy but I hope you choose a Masters course which YOU will enjoy, and hopefully, it's not in Kolkata. Don't let history repeat itself and go through what you went through during your bachelor's degree. You know, yesterday old you were taking a look at college websites for different courses and today this past you are so freakin anxious about the right choice.
there is also the fact of 'research work' in Tata. I hope we make the right decision.
No matter what happens, know that I love you, and I'm proud of you.
PS - keep writing, keep studying, keep rising higher <3
