Monday Playlist (Patreon)

Hello folks!

In case you're new, there's nothing scheduled for release this week as I prepare both the November schedule and start scheduling out content!

But as a new week begins and the month nears its close, I'm here at my local café feeling melancholic and pretty excited. Due in part to working on the November schedule, reflecting on my life, and building a sick playlist for myself (see below for the playlist).

Reflecting back, it's quite literally this time last year everything just started going wrong. I doubled down on all my unhealthy toxic beliefs and thoughts, pushing myself until I reached a literal breaking point.

Oh how a year of loss and healing can change things. I didn't think this is where I'd be this time last year, and in many ways I wish I wasn't where I am, but just as equally in many ways I'm very glad I'm at where I am! I'm happier, healthier, and healing. I'm grateful to the support of the audience here and for not giving up on me when everyone else did--including myself. Now I'm here to tell you not to give up on yourself! Even the darkest moments eventually have to pass and eventually end. It comes down to how we control our reaction to our present situation.

In terms of the November schedule, I'm gonna be honest: I almost gave up on Road to Kingdom 2.

The situation with Kyungjun was really upsetting, but as I've personally grown and learned, life is about how we react and respond to things. And I am if nothing else, a reactor, both personally and professionally. And I see this now as a beautiful opportunity to say goodbye to Kyungjun and truly enjoy and cherish this show in a way I wouldn't have before! So I'll be starting up RTK2 in earnest and releasing it in November!

Also, the cat may be out of the bag (given that I personally spoiled it) but I recently worked with LOOSSEMBLE! It was kind of a mind boggling situation where I flew out to Seattle extremely last minute, just for A DAY, and conducted a 2 hour interview with the girls! I then flew back and later that week filmed their concert in Los Angeles.

I must say I'm still a little out of sorts from the past week! I actually just straight up lost a day to sleep (today feels like a Sunday to me, it's weird). But I feel very producer-ly nourished? It's like being creatively nourished but a different satisfaction of pulling off the crazy administrative behind the scenes craziness that was required to pull off this shoot. I'll dive into in a later Digging Deeper but man oh man I'm excited to cut this Loossemble video! Projected release is early December.

If y'all watched my original Deep Dive: LOONA video, prepare for a sequel to another L-O-L moment with Hyunjin (if it's not cut by the label!)

OK I'm gonna get back to work but I just wanted to share this update, and cheer everyone on as this new week begins. As I mentioned I've been a bit out of sorts so I actually assembled a playlist for myself that's been scratching a specific autistic itch and helping me refocus this morning!

So if y'all needed a little boost, energy, motivation take a listen to my playlist: WET WORK V: I made it with two songs as inspiration 'Whiplash' by aespa and 'HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER' by South Arcade. South Arcade is a new band I just discovered and I'm so OBSESSED!! I highly recommend this song 'HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER'!
