Abbey Road Studios in 2 Weeks!
9 years ago
Well, well, well...
I have less than 2 weeks before I am going to be recording with some FA peeps for Fox Amoore's album "The Dreamcatcher". I can't believe it's finally almost time!
I am both excited and very nervous, but I think this time around I might be less anxious about singing in front of lots of people. I hope my nerves subside this time and that I can perform properly - last time I was so nervous I felt I could have done better, but it isn't like I can stop the nerves. I'm sure everyone will be kind and take care of me :)!
I've changed quite a lot over the past couple of years. Through life experiences and changes in my career I've had to get tougher and I've also done a lot of self-improvement; namely I have worked on my confidence and faced a lot of anxieties head on. My depression is under control for now and has been ok for a good stint which is a huge relief. It makes life a bit easier not having to drag myself around in deep depression constantly. I got away from an abusive relationship a year ago which has helped, though it took a while for me to get through/over that. Unfortunately, that person took a lot out of me and I ended up a shadow of my former self. I finally feel like I am stable and in a better place to face challenges thrown my way. My job is secure and I learn new things/skills all the time which is great - I am in Quality Assurance now in Pharmaceuticals which is interesting and challenging. I hope it means a bright future :)!
It also helps that I try to workout most nights, though due to some health issues lately I've had to take it easy... regardless, staying active is good for me and helps me to feel better about myself. It's quite impressive how one's body adapts and changes to exercise too! I've been slightly overweight for my height for some time and struggled due to so many issues with my health, but I've settled into a very low carb way of eating which seems to have calmed everything down.
With the events of the past year I have been so distanced from my art/music. Music has been more fruitful than art but lately I have very little time to do either. I acquired a bunny over Christmas which means I come home from work and have her running around the kitchen every evening, so I am sat on the floor with her until I go to bed... leaving no time for anything else really! I love her to pieces and she gives me a lot of happiness, but I finally have some drive for creativity so need to figure out how to work that into my schedule somehow. At the moment it seems I can fit it in to weekends but even then I don't feel I can get much done in one sitting.
Not much else to report... I guess for those who are interested in my music, please keep tabs on my other account :LilyPad icon: . I have a few tracks of my own in the works which I must get finished. Of course, in the coming year there will be The Dreamcatcher which I am featured on, which should be interesting! I should also be contributing to Kaze: Ghost Warrior this year; the project slowed down due to a few things but I hear it is due to continue soon. I've been wanting to give voice acting another shot for a while so I hope it happens! It also serves to inspire my music as I love to offer music to the project too. I have all these amazing VST instruments that need some use.
I hope everyone is well... last year was a pretty rough time for a lot of us.
Sorry I've been inactive... some day I swear I'll get things back on track. Until then, I still check up on everything and I comment a little... and I loooove seeing all the art here, it does help to make me want to get my groove back.
Take care and thanks as always for all your support! I still get occasional faves/watches and it always makes me feel so privileged :)!

And super much good luck to your performance! I'm sure it'll be great! <3 Nerves and all c:
Best of luck with the workouts and health issues, and the pharmaceutical job, and the continued butt-kicking of the depression. You deserve the best of success!
