Not too bad, I'm still riding it a bit.
I went part-time at my coding job before the pandemic due to stress/anxiety from some unknown work-related source. I then quit during the pandemic from constant erosion of salary and quality of work life.
I ended up kinda floating undecided for a couple months. Tried a couple game jams and realized my dreams of game design were not my life-long calling.
Then needed money so ended up starting to freelance. I didn't really market myself, so I didn't have many clients, but I had one big one through a friend that paid well and I did a couple really big things for them.
I'm now doing a contract that's 3x my previous salary (but also 1099 so more taxes) and struggling to figure out if I'd ever want to be W2/full time employee again.
I also got about 6 or so months of near full-time work on a personal project, and it's been very enlightening to get that much effort behind something of my own for once. Also isolating socially
