Reflection

I know this category doesn’t necessarily need a reflection considering that’s what the essay is, but it’s quite difficult to find a healthy balance of personality and professionalism when I’m discussing myself as a journalist considering how journalism makes up for at least half of who I am. Who I seem to be here could never be the entire me and it’s hard for me to be okay with that. Alas, it will do.
