Ah, that freelance life. It’s full of ups and downs that I’ve just gotten my head around after doing it for the last 18 months. I’m going into my last week of my current contract and I’m now at the point (finally!) where I can be Zen when contracts finish. It doesn’t send me into a massive tailspin of self-doubt and worry any more. I’ve finally decoupled work from being the defining measure of my identity.
