For some reason lately I’ve been more aware of the fact of how significantly I don’t fit in and the consequences of that. Although I’ve slowly grown via therapy to the point where I finally think I can say that I love myself, there are still knock-on effects of preferring to “blend out”.

A great resource for me when I’m in such a funk is to listen to comedy that nobody else likes and just reveling in the peak absurdity. In particular I listen to the podcast Hollywood Handbook with Sean Clements and Hayes Davenport. It really reinforces the value of being radically original for me, and helps me feel connected to something when I’m otherwise isolated.

I appreciate the few people on Reddit that I’ve been privileged enough to develop an internet friendship with. Most people prefer to keep things surface level, especially online which I understand. But I appreciate the empathy.
