Quiet Introvert making Stand-up Observations

When I retired it was as though a dam had burst in my mind.

The mental demands of a working life in professional practice were subsiding, leaving capacity for other thoughts and ideas which had long been lurking below the surface and now flooded out. As I observed this torrent passing by I wondered what to make of it. I rarely remembered these fleeting thoughts, and after a while I began to think ‘what a waste’.

They were really just observations about life, cropping up at all times of day, triggered by whatever I was doing at the time. A bit like a pithy, sardonic running commentary that I couldn’t switch off. So I began to write them down.

I realised I was creating comedian and storyteller material for Stand-up. But I couldn’t see myself performing as I’m a quiet introvert with an INFJ personality type a truly Introvert INFJ. I thought I may as well organise it all – and then why not put it on a website? It’s as good a place to store it as anywhere else. If no-one reads it – fine. If one person reads anything here and chuckles – great.
