Cosha

Been hiking, teaching/ volunteering, dancing, hitchhiking, learning, reading, resting, waterfalling, loving, ficando chapadona o dia inteira, collecting trinkets for home, waking up & oooh. feeling alive, finding new music, making new friends 🥹 🇧🇷 thank god for Brazil & Brazilians.

Guna tear myself away soon and probably hopefully put some music out 🤞.. vamos ver.. chama que vem

At the start of 2023 I was stuck, my mom told me to imagine I was at the end of my life and to write down the experiences I’d have liked to have & the things I’d have like to achieve & so I did.

Learn another language
Learn guitar
Write at least 2 timeless albums
Buy a house

After Murmurs & all the stress that came with it, all I knew is that I was tired. Tired of the music industry, of the hyper capitalist, individualistic society I’d been apart of, no capacity to be happy for others, no more optimistic default setting.

I decided I was going to get going on some of my goals, especially the top two. I budgeted all of my savings to last a year in Brazil (wouldn’t have been able to do it without all the friends & family who took me in de grassa) and that what’s I’ve been doing all year, trying to get back to an optimistic default setting cause without passion & hope I am truly lost. I need this for myself & I need enough in me to share, to be a light for others.

This year, the last year of my 20s, I can say without a doubt has been one of the best of my life, it taught me the importance of being slow, being patient & being free, in all senses of the word but especially free from pressure. The pressure that gets put on us but also the pressure I put on myself. I’m taking my time & I’m enjoying all I can. Hoping to keep this with me as long as I can & that when it gets lost again I find new ways to return to it.

Not sure what’s happening next or what I’ll end up doing but it will happen when it happens & my only goal is to enjoy the moment.

Lots of loveeee
