2024

Lowkey starting to think getting laid off was one of the best things to ever happen to me. Like it's been hard and I've cried a ton because this shit sucks and job hunting and getting rejected at interviews is hard as hell.

BUT, on the good days I'm making art, connecting more deeply with my friends, reading for fun again, making my way through Baldur's Gate 3 and getting TOUGH SHIT done.

It's reminded me how capable I am, I think being stuck in a shitty job for a long time can be really bad for your confidence and I am feeling like such a badass bitch lately. 2023, I made a lot of progress as an artist, in 2024 I'm going to make even MORE progress as an artist. Here's what some art stuff looks like for me this year:

January 26th- Exquisite Corpse dropping on Spotify, Tidal,Apple, Music,Waystar Royco Music app and more

January 31st- secret project #1 (and more in the future)

February 2nd- show at Parachigo in Fargo,ND

February 28th- as of now unannounced show in Fargo,ND End of February or March- Holiday Malaise (Short Film)

I'm also getting close to done with my next EP Crybaby on Fire. It's my best work yet imo, and I've learned a ton in the process of making it and I'm excited to share with you all when it's ready.

Once that's wrapped up I'm going to get back to work on my first album which I'm excited to finally announce will be called

The Blue Rose Tapes

It's an album that is a Twin Peaks inspired transition journey/ghost story nightmare.

An insanely talented friend of mine made the sickest fucking cover art for it check her stuff out on insta but I won't share it until the album is in a more final state, you should check out the artist's work on insta in the meantime:https://www.instagram.com/rkgcollage/, she makes the coolest collages and writes some incredible poetry and is one of my best friends in the entire world.

I feel ready, reenergized and ready to get back to working on the album after making this EP, I have a better understanding of my creation process and feel like I'll be able to take the lessons I learned there to help with the album, and I feel like I have a better idea of what the bigger vision for the album is so I can take a new approach to making it. Can't wait to share more on this in the future, I'll be posting updates and snippets along the way on all my socials.

2024 is going to be hard, but I'm going to survive, and not only am I gonna survive, I am going to live it fully, I am going to keep following my heart and my dreams, I did a lot more of that in 2023 and even though 2023 almost broke me a few times I still felt happier than I have in a very very very very long time.

This year,

I'M GONNA SPEND MORE TIME WITH PEOPLE I LOVE!!!!

I'M GOING TO REMEBER THAT:

I HAVE A SOUL!

I AM A HUMAN BEING AND I HAVE WORTH!

JUST FOR BEING HERE!

A JOB DOES NOT DEFINE ME AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I'M HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOING HARD THINGS IS WORTH IT!

THIS YEAR I WILL ONLY BE PRAISING DALE AND RAISING HELL!
