Get To Know Me #Challenge. Content Warning.
I heard about this challenge via other writers and it intrigues me to read about others' lives. I have spoken about how Vocal is like a music band consisting of many instruments and musicians. We are all different and yet united. Here are ten things about me to bring to light.

Who cares about your existence? No one.
Once upon a time, in a bustling city filled with people rushing about their daily lives, there lived a young man named Oliver. Oliver was an ordinary fellow, with an ordinary job and an ordinary existence. He often found himself lost in the crowd, feeling insignificant and unnoticed. One day, as he sat alone in a park, a thought crossed his mind: "Who cares about my existence? No one."

Get to Know Me
After seeing a Top Story by Kayleigh Fraser ❤️, doing this felt required. So, here goes nothing... 1. I am obsessed with music. It is my life. Some songs, most by Icon for Hire, are the reason I haven't given up. The first song by them that I ever heard was "Under the Knife" (lyric video below for those who are interested) which is what made me realize that hurting myself is an issue. Before that, I thought it was normal... I was a dumb teenager (as most people are).

Inability
I want so much in my life to change. I have goals and plans like many of us do, but do not believe they will come true. This is because I don’t trust myself. I believe trust in yourself comes from showing yourself that you can follow through in even the smallest tasks you have assigned for yourself. This is something I fail at constantly. I try to set myself up for success but always seem to self-sabotage. I know that one of the reasons I do this is because I am trying to convince and show myself that I am not trustworthy even to myself. This weekend I promised myself I would go out with a friend who has been asking to see me. I never went out with her. As I laid in bed thinking of excuses to tell her, one word came to mind: inability. I feel unable to do the things I want to do. I want to do things and know how happy I could be if I simply did them, and yet I will not do them. I know I won’t do them because I never have before.

Who is Paul Stewart?
Hey. So, this is my entry for Kayleigh Fraser's unofficial Get To Know Me Challenge for September. I feel like during my time publishing on Vocal I have given of myself quite a lot. Whether I am writing fiction, non-fiction, poetry, satire, horror or in the comments, there is always quite a lot of Paul Stewart in there. So people know about my accidental poet status, my love of music and film maybe, my family, my animals, my depression and anxiety and trying not to shy away from the fact that I am an incredibly flawed individual.

Without you, life is still good
Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a young woman named Lily. Lily was known far and wide for her infectious laughter and her ability to find joy in the simplest of things. She had a heart as warm as the summer sun and a smile that could brighten even the gloomiest of days.

Nobody cares about you!
Once upon a time, in a bustling little town, there lived a man named Harold. Now, Harold was a peculiar fellow, always seeking attention and validation from others. He would go to great lengths to impress people, whether it was by telling exaggerated tales of his adventures or flaunting his possessions. However, despite his efforts, Harold couldn't shake the feeling that nobody truly cared about him.

I'm Realizing I May Have Never Really Grown Up. Top Story - September 2023.
Fair warning, I am not an interesting person by any means. I usually struggle to come up with fun facts about myself whenever I'm introducing myself to a new group of people. But, I thought this was a fun prompt and hope it will help me with having some fun facts in my back pocket for the future.
