This is pretty huge bc 2 years ago I was in the worst place I’ve ever been in my life to date. I was dealing with loss all around me; I had lost family members, friends and on top of that my job. I was in a deep, DEEP, depression and dealing with grief for the first time in my life. It was just incomprehensible. I was also dealing with some health issues too, which made depression a lot worse. I just wasn't a person.
As a result of all this, I completely isolated myself and spent the majority of that year indoors tbh with you. I was job hunting and getting nowhere, I was just completely stuck in a rut. I stumbled upon a small freelance job, which I didn't think would go anywhere. I accepted as I had literally nothing left to lose & the rest is history!
Things haven’t been great for the last couple of weeks but I’m rly proud of myself for getting this far. I had no choice but to freelance. It's not the way I would advise trying to transition to freelancing but it's just how my ~journey~ panned out. I truly believe the universe has ideas in mind for you. I was feeling utterly hopeless & barely hanging on, 2 years on I'm alive and in a much better place.
Things DO get better
