Not Because I Don’t Love You…

I haven’t been updating, I know, but it’s not out of my lack of love for you and/or this blog. The new project is on the horizon, so I’ve been focusing on that. Unfortunately, I haven’t had as much time to work on it this month as I would of liked, but I’m happy with the strides that have been made in January. My schedule should open up, I can wrap up the development stages, and finally begin working from the new project once it’s ready.
The above video from J. Cole sort of states where I’m at mentally; it’s the soundtrack for when you wake up at 5am on brisk and snowy mornings to walk to your part-time job in order to keep the lights on (or come up with your share of the rent), yet you still have weeks where your bank account is in the red. As you look down over your iPod, cueing up the song, the breath you just exhaled slightly distorts the image on screen, then, as you walk, you wipe away any sleep that may remain in your eyes. Y’know, the soundtrack for times like that.
I’m really in a good place though overall, a lot better than the last time I posted with a J. Cole song as the soundtrack. No work that you do results in a net zero, every step you take forward—no matter how small—is still a step forward. If you keep it going you build momentum, if you give up a healthy routine you experience regression.
BONUS: Two of my favorite songs with the words love in them; they both (coincidentally) happen to be produced by Jay Dee.
LISTEN: J Dilla- “U-Love (Youtube) & Slum Village- “Fall N Love (Youtube)”
