How I did it: It took learning and practicing guitar and bass for a year and a half before I reached the point where I could instinctively hit the notes that are in my head, before the germs of the song disappeared. I've also expanded my musical boundaries in that time, listening to more new bands than I have in my life.And then, just not overthinking things Read how I did it…

How to get an awesome music industry job
It took me
1 year
It made me
feel pretty lucky

How I did it: Started an unpaid internship, with absolutely no idea about the music industry, or my place in it. Stayed. Getting paid close to nothing for the longest time. But now, things have progressed, and I'm a member of staff. Only a couple of days a week, but more in on the cards, I'm sure. I get to do posters, I deal with band management and bands from all over the world, I get free tickets to show and festivals.  Can anyone say yay? Read how I did it…

Kinda breaks my heart actually.
I don’t know if he will ever be mine, even after all that has happened to and between us.

But I’m glad it happened, and I’m glad I had the guts to tell him how I felt. What decision he makes, who knows. And in some ways it doesn’t even matter. I’ve laid myself bare, and left it in the hands of the gods. It’s a good feeling to know I’ve done everything I could.

Love you D

have an exhibition
Completed my first painting in 10 years today

I hit a major major emotional creative block during my final year of high school, and never really found my way back to painting. I expressed my creativity through other means, but always felt a big wall when I even thought about painting. It’s taken a journey through fashion, music, drugs, 4 cities, 2 nervous breakdowns, but I’ve finally begun to dissolve the block. And it feels brilliant!

The best part is that I’m realising that the time in between wasn’t wasted. I’m seeing a new level to my work that wasn’t there before. A spirit of music, the depth of the life I’ve lived, it’s all there.

So I plan to have an exhibition. I’m going to be gentle with myself. No deadlines. Just one canvas after another, working on it when I feel the desire. Until I have enough to organise an event. I can see it in my mind.
