Hi!
I’ve been asking myself what to post here, because I have so much to say and yet so little I feel equipped to speak about.
Firstly, I want to let everyone know I’m well. I’m in Los Angeles and the city, as well as the rest of the country, is in quarantine. Only some essential businesses working. The country I’m from (Brazil) is also in the same situation.
In the last few day, thousands of people watch their lives completely change. Within days I lost my internships, my job offer was put on hold (at a retail business) and I halted my promo for I COULD LIVE and the music video plans, as well as many shows. Other people lost their full source of income, their peace of mind and worst, their lives & the lives of those they love.
Because of the weight of things I don’t feel at all like I can take up space promoting my single.
I’m grateful for the thousands of plays the song got, and I’m looking forward to when I can share more music with you guys, but to be quite honest: my life has gotten incredibly difficult and a great part of my plans has fallen through. My priorities shifted.
I’m still making music, however I’m looking forward actively working on other projects too, as I’ve realized that it’s NOW OR NEVER. We never know if tomorrow is coming.
I’m not good at staying so positive, so I apologize I can’t offer hopeful words right now. I know a lot of people have been incredibly productive and that’s so good, but personally I have been having some off days. And that’s okay. Even if you had an off week, or an off few weeks, that’s fine too.
I’m learning slowly not to demand perfection from myself and this situation is reminding me to stay humble and to focus on supporting my community more, and to focus my attention less on myself.
To be a good asset to my community I also believe I need to honor my feelings of grief and sadness, and take the necessary breaks I find important, and sleep and ponder on how to move forward next.
That’s all
Stay the f**k home unless you have to work and that means no parties and no going to your friend’s house. You don’t know who you may be contaminating accidentally.
