Perfectly Human

A few weeks ago, I experimented with a poem that I had memorized when I was a homeless youth. I used to sing it to everything and could change it into different melodies. I started doing that again and realized I needed to do the same with what I’d been writing lately. I was still having issues but had a breakthrough today. I am still terrified to sing my written words, but I am going to do it anyway. I understand how to find melodies now. It’s unnerving. But… oh well.

I’ve also started filming the class videos again. They’re recorded while the “project creation” videos for the albums are filmed. It’s pretty fun, to be quite honest. I need to catch up on my housework though. I’ve been sitting next to a growing hillside of clean laundry with computer and music keyboards, notebooks, mics, phones, and books embedded. 😏 The mountain shall be conquered tonight!

Unfortunately, I have to give up nicotine. My vape’s battery is bulging, and every puff feels like a game of Russian Roulette. The risk far outweighs the reward. I refuse to buy a new one. It’ll be nicotine lozenges until they run out. Hopefully, if I sing enough and stay busy… withdrawals will be less noticeable. I am expecting myself to turn into a cranky nightmare, though. I will try my hardest not to. ☮️🪷🕊

Thanks for reading and take care. Happy Holiday Weekend. ❤️🐣🌱
