Eleven days until my 33rd birthday. When COVID started, I was 27 turning 28. My 30th happened during one of the lockdowns.

I've gone through 4 or 5 different calls centre jobs since 2019.

Now I'm studying animal care, with the plan to do either a Cert IV in Vet Nursing, or a Diploma of Animal Tech.

I spent only one year with my partner before COVID started. We've been together 6 years in Jan just gone.

It feels so long and no time at all. So much has changed.

I am grateful how I have managed to change my trajectory on a personal scale.

It's gonna be okay, eventually, and I hold enough hope about that for those who can't be hopeful.

I am eternally grateful for this community, a home made of code and human souls sharing their lives and advice. You've been amazing to me, even though I've been less than stellar at times.

Sending you all my love and good vibes! πŸ’œπŸ’œπŸ’œ
