Man! And, All that I wondered after re-reading my comment was, PROOFREAD! smh. I apologize for all of the grammatical errors my guy.

Bro, I'm thrilled (truly) that I could make you laugh, and I appreciate the fact that you received my sincerity. Yes! I have been pursuing being a Professional Stand Up Comedian for 15 years. Although I have presence, and a gift to public speak I enjoy thinking of/crafting/writing jokes, more.

Anyway, for the sake of brevity. I'll say that my stand up pursuit has stagnated and I've been in rut for a long while. My money ain't right and I am acutely aware of time not being infinite. So, your posting of your evolution process (turning the thermostat up/core identity truth) on FlemLoRaps has been timely for me. Thank you.

I need a more than inspiration I need answers.

Given your skillset and your preferences, I think there are a few avenues you could take like working in a writer's room for a comedy show or starting a comedy-based blog might work.

Dag Nabbit, FLEMLO! You out here giving BETTER help than better help. They need your help. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank you for your suggestions. The thought of writing jokes for others (comedy rooms for shows) has been at the back of my mind for years. Honestly, I didn't think I was good enough nor do I know how to going about pursuing that path.

Starting a comedy-based blog is SUPER interesting. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. And, that's the point, I guess. So, I am officially putting both of these options out into the universe/saying it out loud.

Flemlo, thanks for this piece bro. I most definitely feeling lost. I have always been an introspective person, and now more than ever I am leaning on that practice. This finding my core identity and adapting thathat to my life now philosophy is eye opening.

I'm not going to hold you ... it seems daunting to do. I'm just not quite sure what my core identity was/is. And, Being middle aged, unmarried, no kids he'll not even a dog doesn't help either.

Well, atleast I'm not an un-charismatic collector that gets a hard-on for Thunder cats toys, beanie babies or some weird shit like that, yet!🤷🏾‍♂️

Help!!!

This comment is interesting, bro. I can tell you're sincere, and you're serious about finding your core identity. But also, you made me laugh at the end of the post. Coupling that with your name, I can't help but wonder if you have ever had "comedic passions" of some kind.
