An open love letter to music.

Why is music feeling like watching every kid in the school yard get picked up before me.

My mind flashes back to that feeling seven year old me embraced knowing I would sit on the cold after school lunch tables until the final call. A late evening met with an early morning every day.

But music was supposed to be safe. When I found room to be above mediocre I clung to it for dear life. Remembering the words of the first teacher who saw me, truly saw me, and how she believed in my own lyricism even at its earliest stage.

I was so hungry when I was young. Staten Island could never offer the hug a queer black kid needed, but music could.

Home didn’t understand the sadness underneath budding teenage frustration, but music could.

I met music on a first date with no expectations but in queer fashion, maybe I fell too fast.

She took up my days. Multifaceted and engaging.

She became home and a safe space. She brought out the best in me. Introducing me to all of her friends and favorite places, putting me in rooms with people I’d be invisible to until I opened my mouth, hit the mic.

Maybe in my bliss I never stopped to consider this to be unrequited love.

We never needed all of affirmations when we first fell and yet now I find myself watching the single digit counts of comments or lack thereof.

I wonder if anyone is listening as I go to share another piece of myself to no avail.

Maybe I was sharper when I met her, yet now I watch as seemingly everyone around me makes it to those places I told her I’d take her- and even worse, I ration with if I never will.

There’s guilt as I see 29 stretching out to me, how lucky am I to meet another year of life- luck not offered to my cousin, yet how terrifying to know the projection the industry throws at me.

Even as I dodge, I become scorned thinking of how easy it seems for everyone else. The virality and colossal rise. Their talent not mine, their shine not mine, their wins not mine.

When will it be my time?

Will it ever be my time?

My days are spent helping future leaders secure their future, and yet I write and erase Plan B on what used to be my “anything is possible” journal.

Still, there is that hopeless romantic in me.

Wondering if maybe it wasn’t the right time, but the time may simply be on the way.

I know time waits for no one, but as I keep throwing my heart at the wall, I wonder where I will stick.

In case you're new here, or simply haven't heard, I make cute little things with my name and lyrics on them (oh yeah I write music too, listen to my new song 😃) and if you buy them, you can help me afford supplies to make more music and cute little things, and even bigger cute things like shirts and the other larger scale screen printing projects I've been trying to get going! 🔗 🔗 🔗 👇 👇 👇 #Americana #acoustic #diymerch #banjo #coloradodiy #clawhammer #cassetteculture #coloradodiy #singersongwriter #soloartist #guitar #washboard #ukulele #transmusician #queermusician #queermusic #indiefolk #indieartist #indielabel #screenprinting #buttonpress #cricutmade #folkpunk #folk #folksinger #punk #folkmusic #folkrock #diymusic #denverdiy https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQTdsnJ9eK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I changed the concept of those videos a bit and made them simpler! They honestly take so much time and if they will get popular one day I will be more than happy to put more effort into it 😌🚪💙

Portrait of composer, conductor, and music educator Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). Bernstein composed some of the most brilliant songs and melodies of the 20th century - life without 'I feel pretty', 'Maria', or 'Glitter and be gay' would be pretty dull, in my opinion - and did so with a lot of enthusiasm and style. Bernstein also was a terrific conductor and educator who introduced many older and younger children to classical music. He managed to bring the then rather unknown music of Gustav Mahler to the public and made some milestone recordings of his music. Bernstein had quite some affairs and longer relationships with (mostly younger) man, and his homosexuality was known to, and more or less accepted by, his wife and children. #leonardbernstein #bernstein #candide #westsidestory #composer #musician #classicalmusic #conductor #gustavmahler #queercomposer #queermusician https://www.instagram.com/p/ChO-Yg4Nwf2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Mark was out today on a rigorous bike ride under the hot desert sun, and he got all sweaty, so he took a short break and sat on a cement bench along the bike path, and when he got up to continue his bike ride, he noticed that his butt left a heart shape, so he took a pic and sent it to me as a little romantic text. Wow, isn’t that sweet….or should I say, isn’t that sweat? Lol.

December (Sara Bareilles cover)

youtube

i've had a tradition for a few years to share some melancholy music on my youtube channel around this time, cuz it helps me get through the weird holiday season. this year's song is called December, and it's particularly special cuz the music of Sara bareilles has gotten me through some tiiiiimes...!!!

in case anyone else out there has ever really needed to hear these words like i have, here are the lyrics of this holy moly mindblowing catharsis bridge:

"distill a whole year down into a day

act like we all start over with a pristine slate

but to get yourself a new life you've got to give the other one away

and i'm starting to believe in the power of a name

cuz it can't be a mistake if i just call it change"

*me screaming crying throwing up, talented brilliant incredible amazing, i need to go lie down just wow wow wooooow somebody call my therapist*

anyway.

hope everyone is making it through the season okay.

take care of yourselves and take care of each other.

#screamingcryingthrowingup #talentedbrilliantincredibleamazingshowstoppingspectacularneverthesametotallyunique
