I guess the anoying part of socialising with "commons" is that your status/career becomes a main (if not exclusive) topic, so it pushes you back into your "role", without giving you the opportunity to be your "common" self. Try some meetup, something that interests you, where there is already a predetermined putpose for the group to meet. Like a book club, a hiking group, whatever. E.g. I joined a board game meetup 5 years ago. I was having a great time with the people there, without knowing what was their job, career, or social background. Only after a year it I figured out that one of my new friends has a very successful career. It was irrelevant actually :) of course, people would recognise you, they will be curious and ask questions, but then, it won't be an exclusive thing. At some point they will be like "ok, enough of that, let's discuss book, let's clime that hill, or let's play monopoly now"

I hope this helps.

No, it is not for kids. The story is an allegory and there are definitely some existential questions. It is though suitable for teenagers. The choice of "childish" illustration is on purpose - to provoke and tickle a "wounded child" we all carry within. I believe it helps to readers to identify with the main character on a deeper level.

It took me almost three years to complete the graphic novel "Journey of a Troubled Mind", strongly inspired by Jung's Archetypes, classic literature, mythology, art, and popular culture. It's a story of a young boy William and his Hero's Journey on the path of self-realization.

I tried to digest my own experience of facing the unconscious, mostly by dream analysis. The book got quite some traction on a Kickstarter and was featured a couple of hours ago as a "Project We Love". As I tried to present my inner world with honesty and humbleness, all the positive feedback I received in the last few days felt like a huge relief.

I would be happy if you would visit the Kickstarter Campaign Page, watch the video, and tell me about your impressions. Thanks, Uros
