I Am What I Make

[rowyn]

When I make stories, I am a storyteller.

When I make session logs, I am a game master.

When I make money, I am a banker.

When I make bad art, I am a bad artist.

When I make nothing ....

When did it change ?

For me I suspect during one of the bajillion speeches from my Parents (with secondary support from Schools, Counselors, Religious Figures, Corporate leaders, politicians and media) about studying and working hard so I could be a "good" and productive member of society. This would place it sometime after childhood when I entered unprotected into the hurricane force winds of other peoples' expectations. I literally had to rip myself out of my world and get a physically far away from it was possible to allow myself some time to lose the self-hate and develop without the external pressure.
