Just taking stock of my 2023 so far and I can say that this year has easily been the most tumultuous of my professional career thus far.

For a few months there my mental state was pretty broken.

Starting to slowly come out of it now—and feeling thankful to everyone that helped and reached out and listened, especially my partner who was on the receiving end of so many long-winded rants 😅

@zachleat Very sorry to hear about that, but I'm glad you're seeing light at the end of the tunnel. My “bad" year was last year…really got into a nasty funk for a while and struggled with burnout. For the most part, 2023 has been much better. 😮‍💨☺️
