What a transcendent experience. Can Festival was truly something special. I will carry this with me for a very long time.

I am endlessly grateful. Thank you, China 🖤

I honestly had that thought after posting this. Like, I listen to a fair amount of music with intentionally jarring transitions. It's possible.

I really enjoy Crypta, but my main issue is their guitar solos often don't feel like connected ideas but moments haphazardly strung together. Just checked out the new guitarist they announced and she has the same problem 🤦‍♂️

of course i'd make a fuckin' typo at the end

If you have ever been in a similar place I hope this can be as helpful to you as it was for me. Like anything that requires you to re-evaluate your self worth and the foundations of how you view yourself, it takes time. But it is time well spend, and you and all of us are worth it.

Having to confront that in grad school resulted in me going to greif therapy groups and individual therapy as well, but most importatly it led me to a now removed article from Psychology Today titled " Some harsh advice for people who hate themselves.".

I just finished my 2nd to last self evaluation for grad school and it made me reflect on my first. Something I struggled a lot with is my own history of self-loathing and self evaluations pushed that to the forefront. My self-loathing and disgust in my imperfections was the reason I stopped music.

After how fucked this year has been, it's going to feel really good to release some new music.
