Sometimes You Need To Burn Your Boat

This is my tenth episode! I set that as goal number one and that's that!
I am really proud to hit my first milestone. I don't know if I can say that I did it in-stride though. The last few episodes turned out well (to me), but I am struggling a little bit trying to find the balance between the good old-fashioned storytelling, and the interactive storytelling that attempts to scope the reason I'm telling the story in the first place. I'll probably miss things like that as the process becomes more routine and I improve.
This week's story is one of my black swan moments. Moving to Seattle at 17 YO was reactionary, poorly planned, wholly underfunded, and utterly ridiculous. I have many more stories from my time there - Good and Bad. I just wanted to tell the part that was scarry, because I have the same feelings now.
They are different feelings because I am on the way out. Save the platitudes; we are all on the way out. Danger just feels different at the beginning, and I can promise you that changing your life, even for the perceived good, is dangerous for me at any age. The good news is; the old man adventurer knows to stop and look around once in a while.
If a light sleeper sleeps with the light on, how does a hard sleeper sleep? With the window cracked just so much...But I like the way you think.
