The Path of a Writer

For the longest time, I was hesitant to own, or even accept, that I had any talent in writing.

I wanted to be one of the ‘cool kids’. I wanted to be a dancer, or a singer, like the cool popular ones. Writing was for the nerds, the silent ones, the ones no one wanted to hang out with… and I was very much all of these things as a kid.

Having that little bud of talent in writing also meant I was subject to many injustices, for lack of a better word. In group projects, I was most often burdened with doing the bulk of the work while the others played around and did the bare minimum. I was almost always tasked with the report writing and documentation, which, after a while, if you know, gets a little tiring. Because you work with little to no recognition and rarely get to be in the spotlight, which I desperately wanted to be in. In those formative, impressionable years, that really did mean a lot.

So, as it follows, I didn’t give much importance to my talent. In fact, I purposefully strayed away from it — a rejection, as though I was rejecting my own true nature. When people asked me what I was good at, writing was at the bottom of my list, or omitted altogether. When I turned to astrology, poring over birth charts, searching for the purpose or career charted out in the stars for me, a mention of writing and I would scoff, or sigh in disappointment.

And thus, I let my pen rest for too long. In time I realised what a powerful gift it could be, how truly valuable it was in the real world. But by the time I returned, it had rusted.

I truly felt like a fool who neglected her gift and allowed it to weaken. I am now catching up.

Writing these days feels slow and effortful, as though after being suppressed for too long the words shy away from blooming out into the world. I myself know not how to undo all those years of turning away from it.

And so, stumbling and messy, I keep on, searching for the fragments of light I lost.

A new book in the Loner Solo RPG line? Absolutely. It's Loner: Cthulhu! Strangely enough, sanity is what sets it apart from other Mythos games.

Let's get weird with it. There are a lot of things that you can do with a great setup, and *Weird Heroes of Public Access* is a great setup. But maybe the system isn't to your taste. There are options.

I boosted this before, but want to reboost this post, because Xmas can be hard for a lot of reasons. Sometimes it's good to know there's someone willing to listen. #JoinIn #SitTogether

Just want you to know how much you made me laugh, fellow loner and rebel, Paul Reubens. 🚴‍♂️🥣

#introduction

I've stumbled upon this place looking for some kind of calm, relatively cozy internet space where I can seek out a tiny community. Or just talk into the void, that works too. I'm looking to find my voice again and what it is I want to say.

I'm Jen. I'm a writer, lately more of a thinker, and I'm looking to start fresh with something new. And not just my writing but my whole self moving forward. I've been through so much internal transformation in the past few years that I've come to feel alienated from pretty much everything/one I know. I need to re-orient myself within all of this change. I'm finding that difficult to do with the people who have known me for a long time---it can be so hard to break out of the expectations of those closest to you, those who think they see you so well, but no longer do. I aim to create a little chrysalis for myself, so to speak, so I can embody myself more fully.

November 30, 1875
#OTD Frank Meyer, Dutch-American #Plant Explorer, is born.

Frank once confessed in a #Letter to #Friend,

"I am #Pessimistic by #Nature & have not found a #Road which leads to [#Happiness].
I withdraw from humanity & try to find [happiness] with plants."

Frank was a #Loner & suffered from #Anxiety. He felt more at ease with #Plants than #People. Like many #Gardeners, he even named his plants & #Talked them.

Later I'll be going on my 1st trip out of town since #covid started.

Not itching to get away. I'm quite content going around my neighborhood on my #bike and strolling in the #malls. 😁

But it's free. And I don't have to drive! Besides, I get to meet some fellow #WorkFromHome people in person. Not that we're too eager to meet each other. 🤪 It's just healthy to get out. 🏖️🏃🏻‍♀️

Quit glorifying #introversion. It's kinda cool, but you need* to be with other people. #loner #introverts #health
