We all belong here.

Hiraeth: (especially in the context of Wales or Welsh culture) is a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return.

For me, I am still feeling the effects of covid and iso in my personal relationships. As someone who not only dislikes communicating online or via text, etc., but also gets a lot of anxiety from doing so (especially when attempting to initiate contact) a lot of my personal relationships were damaged or severed as a consequence of not being able to see people. The loneliness I feel from this only increased after lockdown(s) ended because I felt I had to catch up on both uni and my professional life which left little to no time to meet new people or see existing friends. The relationships I have maintained feel surface-level and I feel sad that I've damaged my relationships with friends.

Living alone as a young adult and overwhelmed with life milestones and achievements, when does one rest and take a step back to find passion in life again? Running ahead in my life compared to my peers due to family pressure and being an immigrant away from them, stakes are high if I fail but yet I am only one person to take it all in. Few friends can relate to me and certainly I’ll still need to face it head on everyday with my own challenges coming by. Oh I wish I wasn’t feeling alone in my own battles with growing up too fast thinking so far ahead in life while also trying to experience fun with my friends and partner that’s only available in my 20s too

Looking towards the unknown possibility as a chance to reinvent self.
Hiding self, expression and personality, wanting to break out but hesitant because of unfamiliarity.
The building blocks represent a chance to start new.
Who do I want to be?
