howdy

well, it’s been a while. life has chewed me up and spit me out, and here i am. i am, though. that’s the beauty of it.

if you’re reading this, i assume you saw the updated front page - for future readers, i’m on hiatus at least until 2025, at least for live shows. i’ll still be writing and might release a single or two, but i’m nurturing the kind of person i want to become and would rather focus my intention in that direction.

as of the time of writing, i’m five weeks into a spravato regimen, and the difference in my mental state is night and day. i feel connected to myself and to everything in a way that’s hard to describe - for the first time in a long time, joie de vivre flows through my veins.

gratitude is an understatement, yet it is the best i have.

so, to do right by my new growth, i’m hoping to find ways to share my methods and useful knowledge in the hopes that someone out there might benefit. spoiler alert, metacognition is a big part of it - thinking about your thoughts and checking your biases. that and compassion and gratitude as a default. my ultimate goal is to love others as i love myself and to love myself as i love others - i think that is possible by sharing as much as i can, particularly through the next phase of my songwriting.

i admit, it’s nice to have music all to myself again without the expectation of sharing or the notion of preparing for a show.

so i’ll see ya when i see ya, hopefully with some newly acquired wisdom and the language to share it.

i love you.
