Hi friends,
It's been a crazy ride this year, and it's time for an update.
As some of you know, life hasn't always been easy for me. Constant struggles with substance abuse took away a big chunk of my life.
Dealing with these issues has been a huge part of my journey, and though I’ve been sober for most of the last five years, I still felt like there was quite a big hole in my life.
Trying to have a "balanced" and "stable" life—working a lot to make ends meet as an upstanding middle-class citizen—wasn't what I had hoped it would be.
I guess after living such a chaotic life for so long, I figured "stable" would be the opposite of my depressing, chaotic life.
Yet, true happiness was hard to find with so little time to search for it.
So, at the end of 2023, I moved into a van with , and together we traveled through Europe, spending most of the year in the south of Spain.
Living in a van like this, monthly costs are absolutely abysmal, so with a little bit of income, you can go a long way.
To me, having this much free time meant I could focus on things I actually liked doing, and lo and behold, music came back into my life in a big way.
I had always been writing, producing, and otherwise indulging in music since I was just a kid. But somewhere along the way—after failing to get myself to actually attend the music schools I was admitted to—life got in the way. Addiction came first, and my musical journey ended for a while.
To be fair, I had started my company as an audio engineer back in 2020, but because of "work life," I was never able to fully commit.
But now, here we are!
Back in the saddle, making music again, and focusing a lot on my work as an audio engineer.
Apparently, Karma agrees because things are going great.
Unfortunately, because of some of my remaining flaws and issues, and I recently decided to end things for now and go our separate ways. However, we're still making music together and remain the best of friends.
