What an excellent question Udhay! *I* got better. Honestly, the amount of work I have done on myself with my therapist, the demons I have tamed, and the strength and anchoring it has given me is something that has completely transformed how I will live the rest of my life. I made some friends I probably wouldn't have if the pandemic hadn't totally changed how we socialise. I learned I could reject the expectation that you "must" have a full-time job, even if you don't like it, and I stopped caring for capitalism's valuation of my work I started doing things just because I want to, with no care for how they are received or if they are an "effective" or "useful" use of my time I really learned to say no haha I allowed myself to spend money on something I really wanted to do, and I think it means I've overcome that Indian middleclass terror of spending your savings?
