Hello friends,
This is my first post on Substack, and I’d like to introduce myself and give you an idea of what to expect from my page, even though I’m still figuring things out. My degree in psychology has taught me to embrace the oddities of life, which I believe will add a unique perspective to my writing. I plan to share random thoughts that I hope will resonate with you or, at the very least, make you laugh.
My history of sneaking backstage at concerts, appearing panicked, and needing a restroom is a testament to my resourcefulness, although some might consider it deception. I fancy myself to have a fantastic sense of humor and will keep the tone light, with occasional deeper reflections. After all, I’m the kid who once stared at a flickering candle with friends while listening to Depeche Mode for hours.
After 21 years as a Special Agent with the FBI investigating violent crimes in Baltimore, I’m in a transition phase and exploring my writing. Let me know what you think—acceptable or suck. I am aware of the potential for both.
Why am I here on Substack? Writing gives me an adrenaline rush, a thrilling sense of risk, and the excitement of not knowing where the words will take me. And this is a self-help tactic for me. I have a problem containing the thoughts in my head, and usually, I blurt them out of my face hole. I won’t get fired for it here.
Thank you for reading!
Warmest Regards,
Shayne
Can't wait to see what you write!
