I love writing and performing. In performing, it's about the moments when you are someone else. Acting was an outlet for me, and being a character for those moments made me walk away from all of my problems, thoughts, and sorrows.
As a writer, the feeling is quite different. Allowing some of my darker and lighter stories flow onto my laptop and onto paper is like a cure to really bad headache. It takes weight off of my mind. My writings are not so much for the readers; rather, they help me lighten my load.
I do know I'm an introvert in person, I will seek a quiet space at a party. I will seek a space for peace of mind. Earlier in my life I craved conversation and attention. When did it change?
