Then, my conscription tied tighter because for three years I was trying to stay qualified for a fiance visa as the income provider.
After this failed, I was just caught in the chop of the Covid disaster/relief system.
Moving to a new region, I thought I would give it one more go and stuck it out through difficulties – until I realized that the employment paradigm just does not benefit me.
It keeps me bound by dependency on others to provide, and degrades my identity when they don’t – and in fact, turn the responsibility against me, making me responsible for their success or failure.

Inside, she wept because she was not thirty, anymore: when her energy had not been tapped down to the marrow.
Oh, she was still vital and kicking – setting fire to the barriers trying to suppress her.
