The Pursuit of Worrying

ByFaris

I have just finished IRSE module C and D today, a completion of the IRSE exams. Altogether there are 4 modules, A, B, C and D, and I started taking the exams with module A, in 2022. It has been 3 years constantly preparing for exams, that today I feel a bit ’empty’ after completing the exams. Not to say that I know everything, but preparing and revising for the exams have always been on my mind since a long time (not that I really do it, but I have been THINKING about it), that it feels like something is missing.

I would like to say that it feels like there is a loss of pursuit, but I honestly think the worrying part played a role. Maybe I find enjoyment in worrying, or feel that it provides a kind of fulfilment? I do not know and I need to read more about this. Maybe that will be my next pursuit?

Anyways I doubt that this will be the end of me preparing for exams or certification, and I hope that in the future that I would do the action (revising) more, and the worrying less.

Thank you for reading.
