This is a beautiful piece that captures so accurately the journey of pursuing a PhD while trying to maintain some ounce of equilibrium in our personal lives and identity. It reminded me of something my supervisor said during my PhD defence: he was glad that I had finally earned the title of “Doctor of Perseverance,” which, according to him, was the most fitting expansion of PhD. 🙏🏾

Thank you so much for the kind words! And I love what you’re supervisor said, it really does capture the essence of doing a PhD.
