Mr Frown

Several things have changed since the time I decided to stop being just a writer, and start a company that consults brands on marketing.

The change that currently has my full attention is my own transformation from a carefree writer to a responsible executive.

While I was always aware of my capabilities, I never truly made an effort to push my own boundaries until a couple of years ago.

Impulsiveness came to me naturally, and the brain was only briefly engaged in any decision making process. As a result, The Universe happened to have complete control of my life.

That's just not how it works any more. There's a voice in my head now - that speculates situations, and likes to question choices before they're made. Let's just call him Mr Frown for now.

Being the newest toy in my head, I happened to, and still do entertain Mr Frown more than any other voice. Consequentially, I have been doing his bidding for some time now.

As you may have gauged, he's trying to compete with the Universe for control of my life.

Interesting, huh?

Even as I write this, Mr Frown has questions. He demands to know why I'm spending valuable time telling the world about his existence, when I could instead be doing something productive.

Amusingly enough, for the first time, I have a really short answer for him.

Shut up. Fuck off.

Change has struck again. Or is it the Universe?
