Yes, I genuinely do enjoy the work and I derive happiness in my field, in fact I want to do more not less to drive the field forward.

That does not mean I don’t sometimes feel the guilt of not being apart of something that drives humanity forward, though, even if all I could contribute was working the website that raises awareness instead!
