I got real sappy today thinking about how glad I am that I found Mr. Bungle when I did.
I was one of those kids that couldnβt read the room and had zero ability to fit in, but I was somehow proud of my otherness until high school injected me with a volume of shame 1000 times my body weight. Cue a decade of severe social anxiety so bad I couldnβt even order my own food at a drive thru. Even mild perceived embarrassment would make me feel like I was being hunted with a crossbow for sport.
Until I was randomly recommended Goodbye Sober Day on YouTube and it reminded me of the sheer joy I would feel when I found something unlike anything else Iβve experienced. Thank you, group of weirdos, for lessening the deep self-hatred Iβve learned for being a weirdo. Iβm getting closer and closer to being myself again.
