Today was a great day! I felt really good when I woke up, so good, I sprouted up to get "brunch" from Panera since I woke up so late. I need to get my sleep schedule back on track starting back at 11 p.m. My cousin said our bodies heal mostly between 11-2 a.m. Idk if that's true or not though. It's time to start back limiting my sweets and drinking mostly water and teas for the GERD. I also want to eat foods that'll help me burn the little stomach fat I have left. Time to try new foods. So I'm picking up groceries tomorrow. My stomach isn't liking me right now, feeling acidic. I think it was the cottage cheese I just had...idk...but at least I don't feel as acidic as I usually do.

Anyways, I finished and set up WBW #14 to be posted. Al content for February is done! So I tried working on my stuff/EP and honestly it might not go as planned. I originally thought it would be based on thoughts you have when alone but idk because I really lonely have one for sure song "Spend The Night" that I like. I have no idea where I'm going with it and honestly idk if there will be an EP how it's going...I need to earn more money first... I have $660 right now and I already feel like I'm struggling financially so it might not be the right move to try and do an EP but I can try my hardest to get the money and get my money together. I definitely may have to produce it mostly myself for costs. I only have one song done barely any money, writer's block, producers block, I'm busy with an internship and WBWs. I think because I'm struggling to identify my style while making it something the new generation can vibe/relate to. And if I do music, it has to do all those things. I'll say I'll finalize the "Spend The Night" recording, get it mixed and mastered then hold on to it; if I don't have more songs for the EP by 4/8 I'll put it out 5/7.

I need to think about "How Come", the lease is $200 every 10 years. I do like the song but people have used the beat for mixtapes...It's not an exclusive but it would be for unlimited usage, that's a con. For "Spend The Night" I bought an exclusive lease...Other than my music troubles I'm all good. Chiefs lost the Superbowl but it's okay, we're already champs.

Hey! Had a pretty good day today. I forgot to write yesterday in the evening but I loved myself for Valentine's Day. I ate crab-legs, sent my song to be mixed and mastered, picked out my outfit for the cover art, and took a bath. Just prepared for my future in music I've been off social media for the most part. Time to dedicate more time to my music still feeling kinda stuck but I've thought it through and NO EP, not rn. I just want to enjoy making singles without worrying if they fit into a project or not.

I just want to have fun with it rn. Therefore, "Spend The Night", I'm working on it to come out on 4/9. Time to be GROWN GROWN. I'm drinking wine on that day! Hopefully I pick a good one lol. It's only far so I can have time to prepare everything playlists, radio play, promotions, pre-orders, cover-art, etc. It's chess not checkers, divine timing. Don't race. I'm my only competition! I do want to have a single come out in May too...but I have no clue what. So I guess I work on that....
