this year was so fast in most ways but way too slow in others. tons of music, tons of travel & even a few shows, ive learned so so much. im leaving alot of old dead skin behind as the year turns over, layers of my old self that were so deeply & stubbornly hidden that i thought they’d always be a part of me. ive seen the biggest growth ive yet to see in 2022, even though alot of the growth was agonizing, alone in the dark. ive been going thru deep healing from soul wounds & trauma from losing loved ones as a child, ive been in a battle & am just now staving off multi months of chronic anxiety as many of these things i tucked away began to surface to be let out. im stepping thru the door of this new year a whole new person. it has been very painful, but its informing my art & life in a way i never could have imagined. theres been a spiritual scalpel cutting all the dreary & unusable parts of my heart which has allowed me to trust again, to learn a whole new way of emoting & communication. alot of things hide in our daily lives, disguised as parts of us when really weve just allowed outdated & sick old patterns of thinking, being & talking to stay around longer than they were supposed to. its been good to take inventory on what belongs & what doesnt as im moved into whats next. im beyond thankful for all the amazing new friends that were made this year, many i feel as though we’ll do life with for decades. im working with more & more incredibly talented artists in music & visual arts, im very honored to say i do this for a living. very very thankful for all the support & people who have been riding with me for years. i promise this next year is about to change it all. the music is speaking a whole new language now. just leaving this here as a little emotional accountability as the new wave starts to come in. im ready to ride, hope you are too. 🦅
