Do you think you obsess more about weird things you said, or weird things other people said? I remember a lot of things I’ve said, but I obviously think about things other people say constantly. If I were able to stop thinking about everything that’s been said and live a little more in the moment, I’d be more like my dog, which is everything I aspire to be.
In other news I decided this week to open paid subscriptions to Never Not Nervous, and a few people have already signed up which is the nicest thing.
I’m hoping to start share a few things just for paid subscribers in the future, like bonus comics (including ones where Boaz clarifies past comics that were missing some key details) and some small merch I’d like to mail out.
But for now, paid subscribers are just doing it because they’d like to, and that means a lot to me. I’ve been making these for over four years now, if you can believe it (if you don’t believe it here’s the first one) and writing and drawing them and then reading your comments and stories is one of my very favorite things. If you’d like to be a paid subscriber, you can do it here:
I hope you have a nice week and that something puts a smile on your plate today.
I obsess way more about things I've said than about things other people say. When I'm with friends, I usually go home afterwards and basically critique my performance. This has been less of a thing as I've gotten older, maybe because I have fewer friends now, or because the friends I do have are close friends who've known me for ages and will forgive me everything.
I remember things I said/did back in kindergarten (for reference, I am 64!). I probably remember every little thing I did or said that made me wonder if no one liked me or if they were all laughing at me. I wish I could say it gets easier or stops as we age - but it doesn't. I am still reliving all the things plus all the new things. I'm thinking no one else remembers anything. They have no idea we are still thinking about any of it. hahal
On another note, I just subscribed! Yay!
