Having realized that I placed so much emphasis on what "success" looks like to me on individually unachievable actions (such as bringing down oppressive structures that reign king of the status quo), or finding a job which aligns with my values and produces collective value, rather than exasperates already abhorrent levels of inequality, I decided instead to make a cosy list of achievable goals which would also be markers of success for my own life.
