My cofounder left for the U.S. or I guess he is boarding soon. I felt so anxious as it feels like my cofounder is leaving me and our project. at that moment, I know that my project has in some ways become my identity. it really has consumed me. I don't know if this causes more harm or good. it's good because I always feel inspired and fired up about my project and my team. the energy and brainpower I can dedicate to my project are unbelievable. I'm actually really proud of the commitment that I put into this project. even if no one sees it, I can comfortably tell myself that I have done a lot and I should be proud of the lessons that I've learned and things that I have accomplished. but at the same time, I feel scared when I have to do it alone when I don't have a thought partner when it is painful to realize that your idea is flawed thus your identity.

Don't let your idea, your project, your environment become your identity because you are still your own person but also acknowledge yourself when u accomplish great things and be responsible for your actions when things might not go as planned.

Treasure your team, your family, your classmates. spend time with them as people that u meet during your time alive may not appear again.
