The morning light shines through the kitchen window, casting an warm glow on my tired face. My brunette hair is tied back in a loose ponytail, revealing a few stray strands framing my forehead. I rub my eyes with my hands, feeling the weight of another long night spent staring at screens for work. As a graphic designer working from home, I often find myself lost in the digital world, neglecting my physical appearance and basic self-care.
Despite my disheveled state, I'm still trying to push through this project deadline looming over me. My laptop hums softly as I navigate the intricacies of design software, mentally tallying up the hours until it's finished. The loose grey hoodie is a staple in my wardrobe - comforting and practical for late nights spent cooped up indoors.
My gaze drifts around the kitchen table, where crumbs from last night's snack litter the surface. A glass of stale water sits next to my laptop, untouched since morning. I sigh, acknowledging the neglect of my surroundings mirroring my own state of being. With a heavy breath, I refocus on the screen in front of me, willing myself to stay engaged until the project is complete. But for now, I sit here, a snapshot frozen in time - a fleeting glimpse into the daily life of a harried freelancer trying to make ends meet.
