Just letting you know I relate to this soooo much. I’m currently in the exact same situation and I so appreciate you writing this and sharing your POV 💗

Hey Mackenzie! Thank you so much for this comment. Especially as I wrote this a few months ago so it's meant I've come back to it, and reflect on it again. Amazing how much has changed and also hasn't (lol).

Really glad it's resonated with you and I'm sorry you're in the same situation. It sucks, doesn't it? The uncertainty continues day after day but I have found myself already becoming so much better at dealing with it.

Thank you for telling your story Imi. It's a situation that can affect anyone unexpectedly and it's secretly in the back of everyone's mind but we defer it and think...nah...not me, it'll be someone else. Until it isn't. I understand it can be a very lonely and paralising time and it's so impressive you've found a creative outlet. I remember talking to friends about redundancy and the concept of 'it's not personal'. Well, of course it isn't personal for the business they're saving money but for the individuals affected, it's personal. All the power to you. Beautifully written 😍

Redundancy, experienced this when my husband was made redundant. Damn it opened doors. Some good. Some awful. The change. The cost. Even now I still feel the effects.
