And time doesn't stop for you, so, the days just pass by and you find yourself still telling yourself that you'll get to doing that thing, after simply too much time has passed. So, you really have to just do it, yeah. Trying to find motivation is kind of a trap, in that sense. Not that you have to instantly get to things the very first moment you think of doing it, but, just not getting stuck in that limbo, is what you want. You either just decide that you don't wanna do the thing, or do it once settling with your interest on it after a fair amount of time. It's so cheesy, but it's true, the only advice that is of real help is just to do it.
Anyway, from what you've told, it looks like you're steadily getting studying and everything done at the moment, so, it's okay, you don't even need to hear all that, just keep doing what you're doing, good luck.
>The motivation I had in China feels like being treated like some selfish basterdThat's how education systems mostly are, yeah. They don't encourage working with people, but instead driving up competition and making sure that you get the best over the person next to you, at all costs.
You went through your education in China, though? Must've been rather rough, I hope that you got out relatively unscathed by it.

Maybe you'd end up the same after being told the same thing for years straight? I guess one just becomes numb to it. It's not lost on me either, I tend to be just shrugging it away in my mind as someone is lecturing me on things of that sort.
