4am

    For this post, I want to step away from talking about the music I'm working on for myself and other artists. Let's talk about time in relation to scheduling and how selfish should you be to people when they ask for your assistance.

    For me I wanted to have an EP out by now but it's weeks since I've worked on anything related to the EP. I find myself tonight at 4am regretting how much I say "yes" to so many people. By this, I mean saying yes to assisting students at my university, assisting engineers and artist in Atlanta and a lot more similat music tasks not related to my own work. I come home a lot around 11pm and feel the need to work on my own music or play guitar because if I don't then I feel as if I did nothing today, even though I did an ungodly amount.

   Now all of this relates to you in some way or another. There will be a time in your life when you're doing so much for other people and then you start to realize you're unhappy. At first you'll brush it off as nothing but being tired. Slowly, this feeling of unworthiness will gradually creep up on you when you see you have nothing to show for what you did for a span of time personally.

    Just like you, I try to fit everything I've said "yes"to in my schedule regardless if this means disobeying my body. I've learn to accept this "tipsy" like feeling I have throughout the day. Please! You must draw the line before this happens.

   We are humans. We are not capable of staying up and being equally productive throughout a 24 hour day. Yes, you'll have sprees of this no sleep life but make sure you're still reaching your end goals!

    I want to end with this statement. I miss making music without having to worry about having to drive all over God's creation in the next hour. I miss the feeling of listening back to something I've created. No drug can ever substitute this bliss moment when you blast what you created. Finally, understand to say no. Be selfish sometimes, and let the angry responses from those people come as you have smile on your face getting lost in your world away from world creating music.

I feel this picture I took fits well with the vibe of this post
