Excavating my Extroversion

May 3rd 2024

Since leaving my last band, and moving to a new city, I left behind more than just a decade of friends and memories, and a career that to this day I miss, I left behind my outgoing, extrovert personality. Work claims most of my time nowadays, either that or my dogs, or family, with the occasional plunge into some videogaming. This is something that I knew was creeping over me, after my dog Sprout was hit by a car in 2018 (she lived and is fine now!), though I never really did much about it. In fact, I didn’t exactly mind the change. For so long I had been the person waving the flag, a rallying point, a charging zone for others who were feeling depleted, ignored, or confused. Mostly so that I could continue ignoring my own needs, but also because I loved doing so, and I cared about and valued everyone that entered my life.

The years I’ve spent writing stories have been like an incubation. What myself and works will become at the end of it, who knows. But I am and always have been an optimistic person, I’ve just been blessed with the curse of taking every good and bad day to heart.
