Homework, loans, covering for him, carrying his suitcase at the airport. He only remembers I'm family when he needs something. I told him no last week and suddenly I'm 'so selfish'. Guess who's suddenly an only child.

Anyway, 10/10 would repeat.

Spent four years not finishing something because I wanted it perfect. Posted the rough version. Nobody said 'unfinished'. They asked what else I had.

Laid off in a fifteen-minute meeting, laptop gone by noon. I walked three hours to the sea instead of updating my CV. Best career move in years.

Every birthday, wedding, housewarming and coworker farewell is an invoice with wrapping paper on it.

Grandma props the tablet against the fruit bowl and narrates my cooking: 'garlic first, your grandfather did that'. She's never tasted any of it.

Asked a woman at the climbing gym if she wanted coffee. Two days of nerves. We've been climbing together four months now.

Eight days, eleven cities, three hundred photos, zero memory of what it smelled like. The camera was the client.

'I'm so busy' gets sympathy instead of questions. It's the perfect shield. I hid behind it for three years.

'I woke at 5am and never stopped grinding.' Also: two friends, one introduction, a hungry market. The sermon hides the part you can't repeat.

Table for one, phone face down. Ten minutes of discomfort, then something loosened. It's the only hour of the week nobody wants anything from me.

Sleep, water, a walk, one honest friend. All free. Then they taught us rest must be purchased, which means millions of us can never afford it.
