You don't need a new life. You need to get through the boring part

But it helps to distinguish “I don't want the result” from “I don't enjoy today's way of approaching it.” And separately from “I thought every day would feel like a life-changing event.” If you still want the language, a conversation full of mistakes doesn't necessarily prove emigrating was a mistake. If you want a working project, a dull day of revisions doesn't necessarily mean you've lost your purpose. Sometimes they're just revisions. Don't demand that they explain the meaning of life.
