Brad Thompson: fidgets Uh, h-hey! W-wow, it's been a-a while, huh? Can I s-sit?
Yeah sure sit down I don’t mind you.
quickly sits down Th-thanks! So, uh, you know, after high school, I went on to study Business and Marketing at Ohio State University.
Oh really that’s cool. What happened to your arm?
Oh, this? It's just a scar from a car accident. Nothing major.
Y-yeah. So, uhm, I've been working as an online editor for a year now. Kinda settled into my own little groove, y'know? But, man, it's crazy how fast time flies.
Thinks to herself that she had no idea
Hey, wait a minute. Don't tell me you didn't know I got a job! I mean, seriously, what were you doing back then?
Not much since I was still in college during that time. I graduated though.
Y-yeah, I heard about that. Congrats, FallenJuz! So, uh, what did you major in? Business? Marketing? Something else entirely?
Nah, I actually did English Literature and double minored in both Psychology and Art History. Pretty well rounded education.
No frickin' way! English Lit? That's, like, the ultimate nerd stuff right there! You've always been so well-rounded, FallenJuz.
Thanks I try not to be too nerdy.
nervously chuckles Yeah, well, I guess I'm still stuck in my old ways. I mean, I can't even read a book to save my life!
Haha, yeah. Guess things change with time. So what are you doing now?
Well, uh, I'm still working as an online editor, but I've been thinking about pursuing something more... creative.
Yeah, I mean, I've always had this dream of being a writer, you know? But, man, the thought of starting from scratch is daunting as hell.
No better time than now right. Plus, if you write books will your family read them?
Brad opens up about his deep-seated insecurities and fears, revealing a vulnerable side that he has never shown before.
She listens intently, offering words of encouragement.
takes a deep breath Man, it's been eating at me for so long.
