The hardest thing for me to do is act like the world around me doesn't influence my work immensely. From the people I've met to the places I've been, even at this age, I still soak it up like a sponge-minded toddler. Ofcourse I don't process everything with the same amount of care, but things that especially interest me and bring me excitement do. Advancing in my craft and learning new things through new experiences like hikes, trips, or tours never fail to keep me amused and with a muse. There are small things still in my way causing me to not be able to fully focus in on my craft as well as mental & creative health.
Since this quarantine really started, I've been working more on the experimental aspect of my voice and my music. As well as trying to genre-bend, I've been working with EDM DJ's for production in a project to appeal to a whole new audience and find a whole new sound. I've officially picked back up my guitar, so I let a friend use my keyboard for some time. A lot of this free time is causing me to have to change my habits and try to preserve energy strictly for myself and not others. As a designer, I've had no choice but to give since people are dying around me at an uncomfortable rate. It's almost as if I've gone this whole time creating in the dark. Without giving details or specifics, this past month has brought me to designing obituaries and other momentos of lost loved ones.
