when I get my pitches rejected, I'm learning to respond by congratulating myself for at least TRYING and putting my ideas out there, instead of getting paralyzed in self-doubt. it's not sustainable for full-time freelance, and it's also just not cute ㅠㅡㅠ

in 2022. I am giving myself more space to be unpolished, share the things in progress, leave a modifier dangling, make things that are useful to me even if they’re not to others, recognize when the pursuit of perfection is paralyzing, and know it doesn’t equate to vulnerability

music will forever be my favorite thing to write about because it’s like solving a great mystery. it’s like reading tea leaves. you’re grasping for meaning from something beyond. there’s so much that’s communicated non-verbally through sound.
