Carl Jung was a wise man.

Come to think of it, I think I first got into the matter of Michael Myers back in 2013; let's say that I'd gone through a bit of a fandom upheaval. I know it sounds ridiculous to be upset about something like that, but it didn't help that former friends of mine were so upset about fandom changes that they lashed out at other people just for having a different opinion from them. (Then again, I guess they were always like that, in a way. I just didn't see it. I think they were always very...clique-y, I guess) And then come 2014, we had a member of the fandom suddenly pass away, which was definitely hard on everybody, things like that (and then there's some rumors going around that he had some skeletons in his closet but I don't know for certain). I guess that could a bit of a fear of change, feeling like a bad person, things like that. And with Michael Myers, I guess I could get away from that stuff for a while. But I guess I can't really run from it forever, can I?

I think it also represents some of my writer's block issues because the Halloween movies actually left quite the impact on my writing -- maybe because of the issues I was going through at the time. Yeah, come to think of it, definitely. I'm at odds with trying to get on with my life and some of the old anger (and some new anger) kind of festering. And Michael Myers represents all that. Feelings of anger, self-hatred, low self-esteem in general, anxiety, the desire to escape from those feelings, fear of change, fear in general, plus some of the new memories I've been getting that have been making me question a lot of things and wonder what else is there.

So I guess I should...well, metaphorically embrace everything that's been bothering me (including my recent flashes). Embrace my dark side. I guess the question is how do I do it?
