A new album?? Ooo I can't wait to hear it! It sounds like you've gotten a ton done, actually, especially for solo parenting for a bunch of it. I always feel like I'm not getting enough done, too. It's funny that you just read The Bell Jar, because my husband recently auditioned for the film they're making of it (the screenplay is not nearly as good, unfortunately), so I revisited the book, too. I've always loved her poetry so much, and strange fact, she's in my family tree? I guess she's my second cousin, according to my grandmother and the family history document we have. I don't have any hard evidence, but I'LL TAKE IT! Nice to read a bit about your life lately. I feel you on the birthdays, they hit different now 🥴

Whoa that is super interesting that you’re related! I never feel like I’m doing/have done enough. Yeah new album someday…ideally end of year but possibly next year, depends on how much time I can find around trying to earn and pay bills 🫠😩. The album I just finished was for production music so not songs but still definitely a great creative process 🙏 xx

Cutting and stemming, the bane of my existence when it comes to production music. Have a great May!

I am turning 30 this year and those thoughts have already begun for me, so thank you for being transparent and vulnerable. It's helpful seeing women like you doing the damn thing! Also I just picked up the Bell Jar! I have read enough quotes from it, figured it was time to read it too.

Ooh synchronicities! And that’s exciting, 30 is a big one, in a good way, I feel like I started ‘becoming myself’ again in my thirties (essentially returning to who I was as a kid!) thanks for reading!

Making art while mothering is everything. Aging is weird and, truly, I cringe every time I see a celebrity with a new face. Sounds like a productive month! Happy birthday. And I can’t wait to hear more of your music. ❤️

Thanks so much Molly, yes making art while mothering is everything! Beautiful and meaningful and exhausting and fulfilling all in one! Appreciate you being here! X

Thank you for reading, Kevin! It’s more of an accountability thing for me at this point, can I follow through and share each months progress/challenges?
