Today I had the emotional experience of recording the audiobook version of my memoir "I'm Just a Freaking Creep." The book is based on the play I wrote and performed for over 10 years about being bullied in middle school.
Revisiting those painful memories by reading my own words out loud in the recording studio was unexpectedly heavy. I found myself transported back to that vulnerable time, feeling the sadness and hurt of my younger self all over again. There were moments when I had to pause and collect myself, the weight of those experiences hitting me with surprising intensity.
It's been a powerful journey delving into the core of who I was back then - an insecure, awkward kid just trying to find his way. While difficult, giving voice to that inner child has also been incredibly cathartic. I love little Henrik - me. And want to protect him!
Next week, I'll be doing a Q&A video, so get your questions ready! You can send them to henrik@kirinaja.com.
