Mixing Worlds

by The Relatables, posted in Podcast

I have trouble mixing worlds sometimes. Like I don’t want to mix my work life with my comedy life, my comedy life with my family life and I definitely don’t want to mix my “life life” with any one of those.

Most of you are confused (as you should be) because this makes no fucking sense. For those it does make sense for, we have to do better. Your worlds should always be colliding and making each other better. If you can’t mix your worlds, maybe one of them isn’t for you.

If you’re scared to introduce your significant other to your friends, one or the other doesn’t belong. If you can’t be the same person you are at work with your friends, why work in a place you don’t feel comfortable? You spend at least 40 hours a week around people who you can’t be yourself around? Fuck that.

I think I’m afraid of mixing because I know I don’t behave the same in either world. I’m afraid of letting my guard down to let people see vulnerabilities and inconsistencies between varying “worlds”. Maybe I’m just a big fat phony. Maybe I’m just SO self aware that I recognize it and others don’t. I don’t know.

What I do know is that you when I mix the worlds, they usually get along just fine and my anxiety dampens as soon as I realize no one really cares. Everyone usually gets along and can relate on some level or another.

Don’t be like me, mix your worlds.

Rest Day

by The Relatables, posted in Podcast

I’m at an age where I seem to be getting more and more “life” advice. I was recently told that your 20’s are for learning about yourself, your 30’s are for grinding, and your 40’s are for enjoying it all. I liked the format, but it got me thinking about enjoying it all. I get that you have to work hard to play hard. But I want to play now. That’s why I thought I was getting a head start by trying to go into my grinding phase here in my late 20’s. I never liked how people had this idea of retiring when they are old. Why would you save all this money, to be too old to truly enjoy it. Take trips, be adventurous. I’m sure I have a “young mans” view of this. But I want to live life to the fullest, while I still have all my faculties to do so.

So I’ve started “grinding” to get ahead of the curve. I’ve been working everyday for the last month and a half now. No days off, working 2 jobs, getting on stage, going to the gym. But goddamn is it always on. I feel like I’m always thinking of my next move, without fully engaging in my current one. I need to take a step back and smell the roses.

So I took “a” morning shift off 😂🤷🏾‍♂️. I know it’s not a true rest day, since I still work 7 days a week. But it’s a start, and enough for me to get my head above water, and enjoy the waves, before I catch the next.

When I was growing up, I never liked the concept of work. I understood it, but always wondered why I couldn’t just get paid for being me. That’s what I “thought” a celebrity was. A person who was paid to be a walking billboard. But through comedy I think I found a way to actualize that dream. I can work on becoming the truest version of myself, and with success can eventually never “work” another day again.

Here’s The Thing. Life is about balance. And everyone has a different fulcrum point. Right not I feel like I’m playing see-saw by myself. But I know in time, I’ll feel like the blind scale of Lady Justice.

Mandalorian

You don’t have to be into Star Wars to love everything about Mandalorian. The story follows a bounty hunter who has second thoughts about a target and ends up befriending a “baby yoda”. You can’t help but love their dynamic and with each episode become more and more invested in their well being. I give this show 2 intergalactic thumbs way up and it is definitely “Relatable”.
