Strip it all away

This is a dilemma I’ve been trying to find an answer to.

Strip away improv.
Strip away running.
Strip away baking.
Strip away work.

What the heck am I left with? Who am I? At my core, will people still value me without all of these things? Will people respect me? Am I still worthwhile? Oh hell, for that matter, do I think I’m worthwhile?

Yeah, I realize how very emo and over-dramatic this all sounds. Not going to lie though: it’s important to me. I almost feel like I’ve been working so hard for so long, all in an attempt to remain distracted. At this point in my life I’ve achieved a fair bit, and I seem to be easing up on myself. I think this is why a lot of the things I’ve been actively blocking are starting to catch up. I’m trying to figure things out. I need to do this or else I’ll get caught up in a weird headspace that won’t do me any good at all. I’m striving for a bit of normalcy, you know. Maybe one day.
