I could write a thing about burnout, but I was too fried to notice when it happened. The interesting/exciting/disturbing thing about being properly stressed is that becomes entirely normal and you only realise something is broken when the music stops. Then all the things in your head that you’ve been ignoring pitch up at once and are like ‘HELLO’ and waving cartoon cricket-bats with nails and broken glass embedded.
