I have noticed an unsettling trend in journalism towards self-referential piece. In this article the author refers to "I", "Me" or "My" over 50 times. Despite being on a news site, yhis isn't a journalistic piece - its a blog post that just serves to allow the author to talk about themselves (framed around some topic).
This article could have been about any topic, and the tone wouldn't change - as the bulk talks about the author themselves.

The article is part of a column called "First person" which invites guest authors to write about their experiences.
