The world has changed since 2020, not all for the greater good. We are still grappling with the aftermath of the pandemic two years on. It’s relentless.

I have changed, and so have you, even without your realisation. Whether working from home with a blurred work-life balance or out and about, dealing with the anxiety of exposure and racism, we are all in it. On top of this, one has to deal with loneliness, juggling family, kids’ homework, workload life, and disconnection from family. For those with family spread around the globe, I feel you.
