Was at the local Pagan Pride Day today, and got to see a lot of readers and organizers in the community that I’ve been out of touch with for a while.
And I had a rather unpleasant realization.
My standing in the community is related to my former relationship.
People don’t see me as me. They see me as Amberflame’s Ex. The former Tea Guy.
My years of tarot reading prior to meeting her have been overshadowed by the fact that she was the active one, she was the one who got engaged in events, and I was known because I helped carry her weight.
I need to remedy this.
