“I felt hollow, anxious, lost. It felt like my identity and self-worth were no longer linked to anything rooted, only in the fleeting and the temporary, things that would be gone again in a moment. Like a social-media post. Or my freelance work as a writer—features pitched, laboured over, published, only to become next month’s recycling.”
