been thinking about time lately. how fast it moves when we're stuck in screens, and how beautifully slow it feels when we're not. started spending more mornings out on the balcony with athena and phebe, just watching them watch the world. there's something about holding a coffee and actually tasting it, actually feeling the warmth instead of rushing through it between emails or whatever.

finally got my debt sorted out which feels like the biggest exhale. funny how money stuff can sit in the back of your mind and color everything else without you realizing it.

speaking of colors, we're working on this new song called "angels" and in a way, we're painting with completely different shades than usual. really chill vibe, lots of layered harmonies floating around. cass is gonna help us with the mixing. there's this ethereal thing happening with the vocals, all these reverbs creating this space that feels both empty and full at the same time. the drum beat just kind of breathes underneath everything and vibes.

i've been trying to catch more sunrises. trying to let myself exist in moments without rushing through them. sometimes anxiety makes everything feel like it's on fast forward, and before you know it the sky's dark and another day disappeared. but lately i've been practicing the art of moving slow. watching my cats stretch in sun patches. letting thoughts drift like clouds.

maybe that's what "angels" is about, in some way. finding peace in the slow motion of things.

love u,
