I met “outside Nate” at a convention and you were so kind to everyone. It means a lot but please give yourself some grace and don’t push yourself too hard. Our private lives need space too ❤️
This is me too. It's exhasting and I break down into a puddle of goo. I rolled into a conference in Dallas one time with the first three books of a series I hadn't read and stayed in my room reading (3 days!) until it was time for my talk. I've tried to be better to myself since then. I try not to beat myself up for not going outside for a few days. I plan the "ON" me times as carefully as I can. Take care with the OFF me. I'm not saying I got it figured out, I don't. I'm trying to be nicer to myself. \/('=')\/
Love this!! This is the feeling I have as an introvert because I can be outgoing and as a teacher I need to give a certain type of energy to be successful. Needing to recharge is real and it's so nice to see those thoughts and needs so beautifully shared. Thank you.
And here it is, the very first comic I'm forwarding to my therapist.

this is terrifyingly relatable
So, SO relatable.
Same, Nate. Sending hugs! <3

Brother, we are also searching. Hope you find some balance/peace soon!
This, this is definitely the vibe lately
I wonder, can't we all see ourselves in this a little? And isn't that such a problem? This is so needed and appreciated! <3
As a fellow Burnout King: ........ 🫠🥴🥲💗

dear ND,
this is beautiful.
love "you're just borrowing from yourself."
AND the ending.
surprising and delightful!
thank you for sharing!

This is scarily relatable. I hope that Inside Nate gets to take a breather, and I hope this for everyone else here that relates to this too <3
Yes, except flavoured with disability and masking rather than being on tour 😂
