You're listening to “The Road to Self-Redemption for an English Major.” I'm Monica.
And this… is a record of how I find my way back.
You might have noticed it's been a minute. Truth is, I went radio silent because I lost the will to share. I was in a hole—the kind where you can't even look yourself in the mirror, let alone hit the record button and pretend you have it all figured out. Confidence? Gone. Motivation? Nowhere to be found.
03:54
The evidence was everywhere. My roommate called me a "hard-boiled egg"—a hilarious but painfully accurate description of my sun-tanned, I've-given-up-on-sunscreen life. My desk was a war zone, my plants were dead, and my life was a cycle of mindless snacking and revenge bedtime procrastination. I was a world away from the driven, optimistic person I was at the start of summer, ready to conquer the grad school entrance exams.
06:54
My self-redemption started with a few brutal realizations.
07:04
First, perfection is a trap. I had to murder my beautiful, detailed, and utterly paralyzing to-do list. When I finally focused on just one single task—not the whole mountain—I accidentally studied for three solid hours. It wasn't pretty, but it was done. Completion, not perfection, is the only way forward.
Then, life tested me. I found out my teacher gave out bonuses and skipped me entirely. It stung. It felt like a personal rejection.
And my relationship with food? It spiraled. Just today, I stress-ate a giant bowl of Malatang. It felt like a total loss of control.
But this is where the "self-redemption" part kicks in.
09:24
Here's the mindset shift that changes everything:
09:34
All of this—the burnout, the rejection, the bad meals, the hard-boiled egg —it's all microscopic in the grand story of my life.
In the second half of my 22nd year, on this road to redemption, this noise doesn't get a seat at the table.
10:22
And the most powerful part? We always, always have the power to start again. Yeah, I ate that Malatang today. But the me now is not the me from last year. I've learned about nutrition. I understand my body. I know how to regain control. Over my diet, over my studies, over my life.
So if you're listening this, feeling stuck in your own version of this struggle… I need you to hear this: You have the ability to change your story. Whatever bottleneck you're in, tell yourself: this is just a chapter. It is not the whole book.

Your road to self-redemption starts with the next step you take.
