If you have something in your life (literally in any form) that brings you outside of yourself and brings you to a state of peace, hold on to that. Realize that this is your form of mediation and stick to it regularly. My life is moving very fast and I lose sight of those things sometimes, and when I do I go insane. Right now my meditation is being in Ableton or Blender but I want to get back into regular mediation in nature since Ableton and Blender are also my career now lol.

i have yet to be able to sit still and turn off my mind and meditate the traditional way, but i’m a big believer in finding physical actions that allow one to enter that zone…i know when i’m active with my hands when drawing or playing an instrument, my brain enters a different state thats soothing and is the only time where no other thoughts are coming into my head. i have a friend that doesn’t eat sweets but she loves baking treats because the actions relax her. my uncle is a surfer and he says surfing is the only time he feels his brain is totally clear of any other thoughts. i don't garden but i imagine those that do find that space too…

This feels a little obvious/somewhat cheesy but a daily meditation really helped me a lot. My girlfriend and I did the Deepak Chopra 21 Days of Abundance meditations that are free on YouTube, sitting outside and doing a little thoughtful guided time felt really good. It also forced us to sit outside and notice the birds/clouds/nature sounds/etc and that was a wonderful element too!

I don’t want to float through my days distracted by routine. So, I am trying to look at meditation (focusing on the feeling of my hands running through water when I wash them and recognizing that even this is a privilege - or saying hello to my neighbors on the stairwell even when I’m running late) as a more abstract form of resistance. So when Aaron Bushnell sacrifices his life in form of protest against genocide, I have the capacity to pause and actually feel & understand the weight of it. It seems like it should be easy to do, but it’s a lot easier to doom scroll, or get tied up in work, and the world needs our attention. So I am trying to be better.

This song to me feels like the best version of edm bliss that just feels so ready for the biggest stage ever but also feels like a very intimate love song, which in my opinion is the perfect recipe. I’m also biased because I wrote and produced this with Babymorocco (alongside my sister Angel Emoji [of frost fame]). It’s also a love song that lyrically has some uniqueness in the senario it’s in, trying to keep the purity and innocent spark of a long-distance relationship in its early stages, feeling like if you don’t see that person as soon as a flight could get you, that spark may blow out. Also the drop goes hard, this you cannot deny.

You gotta make home videos of some sort. Just like random bits of ideas and things you are joking about with friends, make that into a little skit and film it. It’s so fucking fun me and angel do it all the time. I wanna start a YouTube channel this summer and do more full length bits. This isn’t even a recommendation for content creators or whatever, you just gotta do this no matter who you are. It's very freeing and keeps life light. Even if nobody sees them but you.

Blender is one of the most beautiful inventions and keeps my inner child close. I get to make anything I have ever wanted into reality. The Blender community is also so welcoming and helpful, I learned everything on YouTube tutorials and discord. It’s really just a community of people that want to see each other make cool shiz. I make all of our character art there, I’m working on 2 music videos from SPIRAL that will be mostly if not all in a 3D world.
