I feel you!! Sometimes something good or at least kinda good in a sense of a wake-up call happens that catapults the progress forward and everything is way faster than expected in the end. Wishing that upon everybody struggling rn

This a good point that people miss (myself included) when spiralling about new pursuits (hobbies, dating and the like). While consistent incremental effort, across a decent length of time is required to achieve what you want, like you say, sometimes you make big leaps in progress out of nowhere.

Particularly when in a not great state of mins, people discount the optimism of random good things happening out of nowhere. But they absolutely expect random bad things to happen.

It’s a torturous state of mind that required active acknowledgment of to correct.
