What are your biggest challenges?

This is a great question, What Are My Biggest Challenges?

 

I had to take some time to think about this before I responded.

The first challenge I have is, not wanting to talk to too many people nor see them. It has nothing to do with not caring about them and loving them. I just don’t seem to want to talk on the phone or plan to see one another. Since I have been home, I have not seen but 2 people outside of my children. I don’t know if I just got used to not being around people during the pandemic, or when I decided to distance myself from people that last stretch of my stay in Vegas before returning home. I clearly became a recluse during this time and came to really enjoy my alone time and lost any desire to around people. I am also and Empath and life at my job was so stressful that I needed to spend a lot of quiet time to let go of the negative energy I was around.

I did think that when I returned home to Seattle that I would want to get out and see people and possibly check out some local talents shows. That too has not been the case. I go to work and go home and just sit quietly or watch a show or two with my family.

Sometimes, I feel concerned about this fact of not wanting to engage people, more so because there are people that want to see me. I don’t know if I am just making some kind of excuse or if this issue goes deeper into some form of mental issue. I am cool with the fact that I don’t want to engage too many people, it’s the people that want to connect that remind me that I have not either by calling and leaving voicemail, text messages, or even reaching out on social media. And there are those that are getting up there in age, that I really need to push myself to see.

My next biggest challenge is the fact that I have pretty much fallen back from the involvement and support I have shown for the Independent Artist Industry. While in Vegas I pretty much lost interest. I would watch on social media and at times I would do some research and go to find where I can hear music or see what they are doing creatively. I have not come across too much that has captured my attention to the point that I want to go beyond my initial findings. I miss the days when I woke up and went to bed working on a project or plotting and planning my next endeavor.

I believe that some of it does come down to my age and what I desire to experience has shifted and some of it comes down to the industry being so oversaturated with creative people that there is so much weeding through to try and find someone that I want to put effort into. I do hope to get back to reading books for review and to get out and experience some local talents in this new year. I will continue to write my blogs that range form industry thoughts and info to, subjects that are relevant to me at my age of 63. Plus, I love to write reviews about eateries and small businesses that I have encountered.

These 2 challenges are also affected by my issues with driving at night.  I believe I have some night vision issues that hinder my desire to drive at night, unless it is somewhere that I am familiar with.
