- I disappear into the screen for hours and surface having completely forgotten what any of it is for
- My work just feels like reports going into a void
- By the time I’ve gone through my phone over coffee I’m already in reaction mode, and the bigger reason I get up for any of this never even gets a word in before the day grabs me.

- It’s been days where nothing feels like it means anything, and I keep waiting to feel like myself again before I do anything
