Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When a real emergency hits
- Everything that used to give my life shape suddenly feels hollow and the new thing hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m stuck in this disorienting in-between
- There are a handful of moments where my whole life pivoted, and I’ve quietly decided what each one means
- There are a handful of scenes I keep returning to
- I keep pulling all-nighters for emergencies that, if I’m honest, I could see coming weeks out
