I walked into a spider-web today. Not that this has anything
to do with what I’m writing about or why you’re reading this. Although, it
could be why, I really wouldn’t know. I haven’t met you so frankly your
intentions for clicking a link that sent you to this particular place in the
interwebs are completely foreign to me.
I at least know why I’m here and that’s a feet in and of itself.
Basically, I am me, I like to do stuff, and I want to do more stuff. Seems
simple enough, except you need to add the part where I want to share it, but
not just share it oh no, I want to write about it, all of it.
Up until this point in my life I was the quiet introvert
among my friends. Sure, I was loud and unruly around them, but get me around
strangers and it was like I shut down. And I mean shut down. I always made the excuse that I was a listener, not a
talker.
I can tell you now, that was a bold face lie. Granted, I am
a good listener and I will listen to all of my friend’s issues, no problem, but
I also do very much like to talk. I had
just gotten so used to being quiet that I thought it’s just how I was. I had
the life and friends I had and I figured I wouldn’t need anything or anyone else.
I’ll admit here and now, I was wrong.
After a seven year relationship that ended with an amicable
divorce I moved out of my comfort zone. I live a crazy thirty minute drive from
anything or anyone that I am one hundred percent used to. I’m talking everyone
that I have ever known for the last ten plus years of my life. I realize to
most this isn’t the King Kong of drastic changes to a person’s life, but for me
it was and I sure as hell didn’t intend on wasting it.
I quickly tried to move onto step two of the new me plan.
(In case you missed it, Step one was up there somewhere.) I had to get out and
meet new people. I needed to make new experiences for myself. I looked at me and
saw that I was still in my twenties and had plenty of time to sort out my life.
I hadn’t waited too long, I still had time. I am in the process of convincing
myself that I can and will get out there in the world.
I am not kidding when I say I am shy as fuck and this whole
idea of mine was going to take some time and some serious work.
