We often find ourselves caught up in the whirlwind of responsibilities, expectations, and deadlines, unaware of the toll it takes on our well-being. For me, this realization hit hard when the constant pressure and emotional strain not only led to severe depression and burnout but also began to deteriorate my health. It was a wake-up call that prompted me to reassess my priorities and make significant changes.
As I reflected on my situation, I came to understand that my age and health issues necessitated a reevaluation of my lifestyle and career choices. The end of my contract marked a turning point, propelling me to pursue a more balanced and fulfilling existence. I embarked on a quest to find a work environment that prioritizes well-being and surrounds me with supportive individuals who uplift my spirits.
This journey made me realize that true happiness lies in finding harmony between work and personal life. It's about nurturing relationships, pursuing passions, and prioritizing self-care. With this newfound clarity, I set out to carve a path that aligns with my values and aspirations.
One significant aspect of this transformation is my commitment to creativity. Writing has always been my solace to express myself and evoke change. I'm excited to announce that I'll introduce some new shows at Wyrd Realities, where I aim to ignite thought-provoking conversations and inspire others through storytelling. Additionally, I'll blog more frequently at Wyrd and on my personal website, hadleythorne.net, sharing insights, reflections, and updates on my creative projects.
Moreover, I'm currently plotting my next few books, fueled by many ideas and inspirations. And I'm thrilled to unveil a unique project—a tarot card deck based on characters from my Tapestry of Worlds series. This creative endeavor combines my love for storytelling with the mystical allure of tarot, offering readers a novel way to engage with my fictional universe.
While the future may be uncertain, one thing is clear: my journey toward health, happiness, and creativity is well underway. I invite you to join me as I embrace change, explore new possibilities, and strive to impact the world around me positively. Let's embark on a transformative journey towards a brighter, more fulfilling future together.
