I love your illustration of depression using a snake and grass, describes how it works. Each time I remember what depression feels like I make sure I run from anything that would bring it my way.
One can't fathom how much one's live could turn around in an instance, if you don't give up in spite of the obvious failures. Thank God you kept searching for gigs till you meet the one for 25k words. I tried to picture how excited you were then😂.
Hehe... the excitement didn't last for long. Especially when I saw how stressful it was doing it on a phone.
But so much has happened, and it's all in the past now.😁
