When you really believe that what you've created is 'good,' no amount of criticism will be able to shake that belief in yourself and your creation.

It's that precise moment when you know you've graduated away from comparisons and imposter syndrome.

🌟 ✴️

It's very difficult to maintain being the person that 𝓎𝑜𝓊 want to be.

There's always the bait dangling out there of others' reframing, the temptation to respond in kind, the dark well of the gravity of emotion that wants to pull you towards its event horizon, suck you in and crush your soul.

Stay light. Be light.

I feel like I could post this every day … is everyone going to finally wake up only when it's already too late?

Minnesotan singing in Cambodian. You can sometimes hear he4r singing at her family's restaurant. 😂 This is a little faster than the studio version.

Some days, man … Some days …

I don't even bother clicking on a FB or Insta link anymore … Even Twitter/X is a stretch. Nothing you're posting on there is good enough for me to click on. 😂

I learned to play on this thing in a punk band. It was my father's gigging guitar and by the time I got to it the neck had been broken and reattached after a trip across the Irish Sea to Manchester, and it only had the last 4 strings, so it's no wonder I feel comfy with a bass. 😂
