This week I was ordered to stay home because of my out of control Asthma. I figured it was going to be the best time ever as I get to be myself without putting on my actors mask. What I learned though contradicted the initial thoughts that I had. I realized that while I do cherish the moments I get to be alone, a small part of me needs to get outside and interact with the world around me. From a readers standpoint this probably comes across as funny seeing how I always write how I find social situations stressful but it really is true. I felt out of the loop on everything that was happening outside of my house. Normally I go to work where I gossip the whole day away with my coworkers. I had no one to interact with except my parents and even that started to bore me to tears. I find it funny how something I use to fight against quickly become a necessity for me. It confirms for me how all of my current interventions and hard work is finally starting to pay off.
Thank you for reading!!
