I didn’t comment about the first time we went into lockdown. Quite frankly, I didn’t have the time as I was trying desperately to keep my sanity in tact. As many self-employed creatives, I have had a very hard time. Having had all my work dry up, I had to find new opportunities and ways to make ends meet. I would not be here now, able to go into a second lockdown, had it not been for the kindness and generosity of many people - family and friends who are mostly also creatives - supporting me, offering me small projects to work on which would bring in much needed money, and just being a patient and listening ear as I tried not to fall into the dark abyss and give up completely.
