i know i disappeared, but i’m in the trenches of the seasonal sads, will be back soon!

Trying to do a career change into a predominantly academic and NGO driven field in an ongoing pandemic which means I don’t want to work in an office, and in a country in which I’m not fluent in the native language, is certainly a decision I have made
