Felt sooo much of that. Hits home. Minus I wasn’t as big as you or anything. Was kinda known in the small cosplay community (that was a dramatic shit show haha). But yah, this piece really resonated with me. Well written!
Thank you! I'd hope to relate to those like you who also had to shed skin in and understand how their brain works instead of succumbing to pressure what everyone defines as progress. Then choosing to turn to writing as a solution, even when it isn't, a way to absorb the process.
It's tough to cut out the noise though. Outsides noises and the ones in your head. But then once you finally do, it's super freeing. Lonely at times but in a good way. But also not lonely, lonely because we got this awesome online community.
Loving that substack helps us create a community out of this sense of loneliness :)
Absolutely loving it for that!!
Ugh I love this so much!!!
