Probably a way to make sense of something not said explicitly and a little empathy. I struggle with those myself in person, but I'm good at reading the clues in prose.
This here is a prose piece with some lyrical elements about:
(a) the struggle of having a job you studied and dreamt to do and realizing it's not valued by the world, and might not even be relevant anymore in the general turmoil (which also makes your personal troubles seem irrelevant or a luxury).
It also describes the big and little ways people you apply to work for belittle you and what you have to offer, and the person going through these realizations feeling a sense of loss of themselves and their purpose, set amidst the general covid changes.
Also offers a glimpse of the author's work as a writer/poet (either directly, or through them using fairy tales as analogies), and the irrelevance by which it is met (or so it feels to them).
