there comes a time when you’re near me a time that captures what we're after

“ when she says ‘go hang out with your other hoes’ ”

I have so much gratitude for Anysia on this amazing project. Thank you again for letting me be a part of this production and for being so graceful every step of the way <3 Congratulations on this addition to your sonically excellent breadth of work.

Anywho, Y'all need to tap into AK, nobody's doing it like her.

Apple fun fact...I miss you

April you frustrated and delayed me to no end 😻 now i can move forward and focused

I lose so much swing when I render digitally. I think if I cared a lil less about form I'd be better for it. Less rigid, seeing the bigger picture. I'm determined to break the habit!

The other night I watched ping pong for the first time and was blown away by how fluid the animation was. I need to prioritize feeling over making something look 'finished'. I think a lot of the 'mid' I make happens when i start forcing and dabbling in the arbitrary. I often wonder if it's a symptom of people pleasing (I'll unpack this another day). Although, sometimes I need that mid-shit just so I can get myself out of a mental block and keep the "muscle" active. I just don't want it to be a crutch or something that'll box me in 😭 why tf am I thinking about all this rn
