What does it mean to have done well? When I speak with the older generations about my work, they think 3,000 views is a lot. They’re not wrong. When I meet new people, they’re always astounded by my accomplishment. “70k fans and millions of views?! You’re famous!” Then there’s me, having listened to someone who…

At the Top
Call it luck or chance. Call it nepotism. Call it whatever you want. I have spent years being overlooked or used. And suddenly, it just ended. A lot of it is due to the fact that I chose myself, finally. Pouring my everything into The Fray, taking my time. Being happy with wherever I landed….
Handle It Yourself
The more you think you can’t, the more you won’t. Entering friendships and relationships to obtain something other than genuine love…makes you a loser. I guess I can say it gentler, but it’s true. A lot of individuals seek connections to grow their career or bank account. To say who they know. To use the…
Insane
Imagine being my ex for a moment. I know, absolute ick. You’ve just told me how well The Fray is going to do, and how no matter what…you’ll support me. That’s late 2024, before things took off. Before the interviews came, the followers, and the notoriety. Before I received money owed to me, and I…
Governing the Horizon
I’ve spoken about this for awhile now. Traveling some distance to reach my destination. Last week, I arrived at what I’d call a home base – or at least I understand the journey now and I know my path. Then this thought came to mind, and you can call it what you like. How was…
The Audacity
You adapt to life, or you should. You also hope that when certain things fail you, you’re still going to adapt. I never know where I’m going to land. I seem to always have my eyes closed. I checked on numbers for the last three months. Somehow, I managed to keep millions of eyes on…
Protect Your Peace
Back in 2019, the owner of Urban magazine told me something that I will never forget. He said, “be careful who you deal with. You’re on your way up, you don’t want just anyone attached to you.0 At first, I laughed to myself. I didn’t consider what I was doing at the time – great….
Grateful to be Self Made
I’m finding the silver lining in being self made once again. Before I faced myself and my fears, I would kind of complain about it. It was disguised as me being overly independent. I didn’t feel like I was heard enough. As I’ve gotten older, I realized how much of a gimmick everything is. It…
Updates on 🥀The Fray🥀
As we are starting a new chapter, I realized I had to edit and begin again. I’m not new to this, but the goal has changed a little. I didn’t know the exact direction for The Fray, but it has done so well! While the animation is done as shorts, it is so incredible seeing…
Rent Free in Your Mind
Here we go again. I hate competing because my goals are my goals alone. The fact that people need to lie to feel better about themselves tells me everything I need to know. I had an exchange with someone recently, and when I walked away I realized the same thing was happening, again. The –…
