First, I just want to thank everybody who responded to my last news post where I was really struggling to find a purpose to continue making music. I've taken a break from songwriting and production since then, and I definitely feel better about the whole thing. I've spent a lot of my time the past two weeks focusing on making videos instead.

By the way, I figured I'd ask - from 0:34 to 0:46, for me I noticed that everything gets brighter for a frame after the cut, then goes back to normal. Do any of you see this? It's fine on all platforms except my desktop for me, which is pretty bizarre.

I've been focusing on not being so much of a perfectionist. It's been a struggle, since it places me in a position where I have to choose whether or not Iisten to others' feedback, or my own personal artistic judgement. Perfectionism has always been one of my biggest burdens. I feel like I'm getting better at dealing with that.

I've been trying to be a more positive person lately. For a long time, I couldn't believe that I could rise up to whatever challenge I was facing. I'd panic, I'd worry. "I don't see how this could be resolved," I'd think to myself, over and over. It was difficult to break the cycle because it was what I was used to. When I learned to zoom out and look at the bigger picture, it became easier to spot toxic thought patterns. I talked to God and it filled the destructive void of self-doubt that was crippling me. I stopped letting fear or embarrassment have such a chokehold on me. I feel freer now.

Went to prom. Nice photo-op, but pretty lousy experience. Not sure what I was expecting really - I had a great time 2 years ago, though things have changed. There was something uniquely depressing about seeing everyone so mobile while I still had to slowly get around with a huge walker. When all's said and done, it's still an experience though. Got some of the new faces smirkin' at me, but that's alright.

I love you all, I love this community and how supportive and talented it is. Thanks for reading!

I glad to see that you're not give in. Sometimes we all have bad times. I already managed to visit the "other" side. After that I realized how important to cach every moment of life and to keep mind open.

Absolutely. Time is short, gotta make the most out of it

Looking almost like Professor X in that suit! :D Good to hear you're not compromising on anything even with all this going on, and the artistry's still flowing, albeit shifted in form. Perfectionism's a constant battle indeed, both in terms of creative pressure and efficiency - just takes so much longer! Thanks for the love; stay strong! :)

Thank you for the continued support man!

Oh btw forgot to say - did not see that flicker in the video you asked about either. Weird indeed.

That's a relief. Thanks for checking!

I did my senior year prom, no biggie, a lot of money for a dressed up version of school lunch, only with dancing and music allowed. It's nice to be out and about all dressed up though, all for smiles and some mirthful conversation.

Very nice and fluid video... nope didn't notice any lightening around the cuts. Just the other day, a giraffe accidentally killed a movie director in Africa, simply by moving it's head unexpectedly

Now that's a bizarre death

Yo, did not notice the video editing issue you mentioned on my laptop. Did stare awkwardly at your eyebrows. I suppose you could always pencil in some crazy anime brows to make me feel worse. :P

Also, prom universally sucked for me. I went to our rival school's prom (because I hated everyone at my school) with a guy I'd been dating for three months or so. We were geeks and I hated dresses, but hey. Turned out he'd been pretending to be Catholic since we met, came out as an atheist and started making fun of my religion at the prom... in front of all his friends. He's pro-Antifa now and still wears more makeup than me. Needless to say, a waste of money.

Also, if it weren't illegal, I'd probably punch those kids. Turn the other cheek and all, but I like you, and you're cool. Also, cancer. They got no home training.

pro-Antifa eh? yuck. funny how some things turn out
