Past 2 years has, to be frank, been quite the shitshow for me. If it were not for that one kind lady selling fruit, who insisted I sit down and talk, I don't know where I'd be. That random stranger who thought I looked too gloomy, and had some time and an ear to spare.

Please do check up on your friends, your family, your neighbours, anyone you know. Being isolated and under pressure for too long is not good for the mind.

If you are feeling this yourself, acknowledge it. Pretending it isn't an issue will only make it worse. Perhaps what I did might not work the same for you. It's not easy to leave yourself so vulnerable, and I understand that. Take it one step at a time, at your own pace, on your own terms. But try not to assume that you can do this on your own, as I did. You'll find your own fruit lady.
