Standing on the edge looking out without fear.................................

Thursday, 19 April 2018

Being on the edge of more than one discipline can sometimes be the most terrifying thing ever.
You feel like a sailor out at sea that doesn’t have anywhere to call home and can’t even speak the language.

That sense of freedom and tracking unchartered territories is why I love the PhD.
But like everyone, I have my fears and doubts about myself, the project and me as a researcher.

It’s that fear of Unreached potential that’s scares me the most,  what if I don’t do the work justice,  what if I let down this idea that could change so many different disciplines and what if I’m not enough to do it.

These I think are things everyone feels, PhD’s are hard ……..
Now what I’m trying to work on is sitting on the edge and looking out without fear………………………………………


Then I think about how lucky I am;

·         My supervisors are the best they support me and push me to be the best version of   myself.
·         I have learnt so much throughout this process and the research has come so far.
·         I’m learning to understand so many disciplines.
·         I have a new respect for concrete, it’s pretty much like baking  ;)
·         The freedom to explore materials and see what they can achieve
·         To do work I really care about


Let’s see how that goes
