The hardest week

I'm sitting here with my study materials and counting the days. In exactly one week, I'm taking an exam. It feels strange – the end of a long process that has taken months. Maybe even years. And now, in this final week, it is somehow the hardest part.

I don't feel like studying. I have no motivation. I open my notes and close them again. I feel like I either know absolutely nothing, or I know everything – and both of these feelings stop me from moving forward. It's exhausting. Mentally. Physically. Everything inside me wants to escape.

And you know what? That's completely normal.

This is exactly the moment. The moment right before the goal, when most people give up. Not because they are not good enough, but because they are tired. Because exhaustion is louder than dreams. Because comfort whispers: "It's enough. You don't have to continue."

But this is the moment when you must not stop.

If you're reading this and you're in the same situation – studying, working hard, doubting yourself – please don't give up. You've already come so far. Everything you've done until now matters. And now it's time to push harder. Not a little. Not carefully. But more than you ever have before.

Not because you need to be perfect. But because you are strong.

This last week is not about motivation. It's about decision. About discipline. About sitting down and taking one small step, even when you don't want to. One page. One exercise. One hour.

And I promise you one thing: it will be worth it.

That feeling when it's over. When you walk out of the exam. When you say to yourself: "I didn't give up." No one can take that feeling away from you. And maybe it will mean even more than the result itself.

So please, hold on a little longer. You are closer than you think. 💛
