I used to drive for uber, and met lots of interesting people.
one of them was this woman who told me that she's a very introverted person until the moment she steps on stage---an introverted extrovert---and it's something she learned to embrace because it was fulfilling for her.
never forgot that convo because it was a reminder that if she could do it, I probably could, too.
Most performers are introverts
We have a show hangover, it takes us awhile for us to recover all the energy, we spent performing
omg yes. total mental exhaustion. haven't really figured out how to deal with that part.
Delt with it doing artshows, everyone wants a piece of you
Take, Take, Take all my energy
oof. and then they wonder why artists are often reclusive.
We are creatives, not consumers, and we get consumed
def feels like being the product
If I would do it again, I would use a anon name instead of my real name
It helps when people approach, if they call you by you anon name, you'll instantly know where your relationship starts and ends
That would help alleviate some of the pressure
same. I mean, I kinda tried but also did want to be known. there are some sacrifices that have to be made, I guess.
It's one of the reason I don't like meeting known people because I know they have limited energy to give and I don't want to take anything from them
The right person could help, just saying
welllll yeah. can't really take that decision lightly tho.
That's why I said, the right person
I guess it's a bit difficult to define 'the right person' when everybody's got an opinion
Your opinion is only opinion that matters
well, I have an opinion but that doesn't mean it's gonna be a reality. more of a "God's timing" kind of thing. like, if that's the right thing, it'll happen at the right time.
Never a right time
God places people in front of you whether your ready or not,
Be ready and will to follow the prompting
