“So I invested less time in those activities that had previously defined me.”
That’s definitely the scariest part of being in a committed relationship. You lose more of yourself and you give to this “unit.” When you’re single and moving dolo, it’s a lot easier to indulge in your passions and make time to jump in your hobbies.
“I need to not share too much of myself with the outside world. Otherwise, there would be nothing left to put on the page.”
It’s a sad truth of artists :( Definitely resonated with me.
Another excellent piece!
