Publish required field paper

hey it's Lucy and celebrations are in order because I just published my first paper 14,000 words 12 figures and four years in the making I began this thing in 2014 for my master's project I wrote it as a paper in 2015 it was rejected in 2016 I rewrote it in 2017 it was accepted in 2018 and now in 2019 it is available online this thing was so much hard horrible work this thing was the agony of reading my rejection review saying horrible things and it was the agony of saying no I'm done I need to focus on my PhD now and then six months down the line changing my mind and it was working weekends and working mornings and it was using horrible old Windows PC software and now that it's out there for you to read and for my colleagues to read and for me to gloss over it it feels extremely anti-climatic it's just another paper one in a journal that publishes 50 every month I would have 50 journals in my field alone that I can name who is even going to read it let alone cite it and after all that effort all the times I wanted to give up and move on was it worth it I've seen a couple of PhD journals talking about their first papers and how overjoyed they felt which is how I thought I would feel so I thought I would make a flipside video about this weird other feeling that maybe other people have felt as well if this had happened two years ago or even a year ago I think I would have been overjoyed as it was I got misty-eyed for about two seconds when the very nondescript email came through saying oh hey you've been accepted but it's been too long the thing has been dragged out for so long but much like my undergraduate by the time it's over I am so normally done with it that I don't even want to celebrate and it's such a shame because I did so want to see this published I think what's been getting me down is this thought that my paper is just a single stone dropped in a pond that every other scientist at the same time is also dropping their own stones into I feel like all that intensely hard work has resulted in something intensely insignificant and I'm really struggling to reconcile that lack of correlation in my head but that's being a scientist right we're expected to publish you don't get a song and a dance set over it it's just part of the day job and I've been trying to think about it positively I wasn't expecting to change the world with this paper I wasn't expecting to be on BBC news at 10:00 and most we'll get back over their whole career but that's not the point the point is that it's not about individual...
