Dear Moon Babies,
Wow, what a space I'm in right now. I've been making more radical changes and decisions this past month than I have in the past 5 years. I parted ways with my longtime management, moved out of my dollhouse, put all my stuff in storage and bought a one way ticket (wanted to be extra dramatic) to the woods to finish my next album free of other peoples' opinions of what it should be.
I have been working 7 days a week for the past few years, doing features, writing tons of records for everyone else to sing and never setting aside the time to invest serious energy into making my own music with the same kind of focus. I honestly don't know how it happened but it did. I guess sometimes life becomes a race track and you just go, without stopping to think if you're even going in the right direction. I was running through every door that was opened to me, trying to ****ing nailing it for other peoples' sake until I found myself completely burnt out.
My friends started noticing how abusive my lifestyle was and suggested I should "live a little," which would just make me mad cause "that's how hard you need to go to win." I brushed them off until I found myself with nothing left.
I realize I have prioritized everything and everyone else and I am pressing pause on it to live my life. I want to spend time with the people I love and write my own songs for my album only. I am doing me, for me.
I have built a studio in a remote place for the whole month of October so I can resist the urge to take on outside projects, and shelter myself from other peoples' opinions, projections and truths. The fear of the unknown has been replaced with pure joy and excitement as I'm taking this journey that my heart has been begging me to take and I don't care what anyone thinks of it or what results it's gonna yield. New canvas, new opus --- I'm holding on to nothing.
From now on the only measure of success is gonna be how much I dare to follow my truth with no fear.
Here's to new beginnings!♥
MoonChild for life,
k
