Like Moving Backwards

Right, Monday 26th of May 2025 and I can, I'm speaking from experience here, sometimes moving forward feels like, you know, you're not moving anywhere at all, if I'm being honest. Generally speaking perhaps, but I can speak a little bit more, you know, precisely in the

context of kind of like, you know, building my own music career, my rap music career. Sometimes like, you know, forwards, kind of like feels like you're not going anywhere.

Forwards feels like, you know, you're sometimes going backwards. And, you know, it's something that I'm kind of like having to learn how to get used to, because it's not quite like, I don't know, it's not quite like school, it's not quite like work where everything is defined, everything is structured in such a way that you know you do feel like you're going forwards

in some direction. With music in general it's like you know you're kind of like having to expand outwards, you know you're kind of like becoming wholesome in many aspects so to speak like you know you're building a platform or a series of platforms from scratch, you're building skills, knowledge, you know all pretty much from scratch, you know you're networking pretty much from scratch. Obviously it's not the same case for everybody, some people have got a higher net worth than others, some people kind of like start off with a bit of an it's not the same case for everybody. you effectively kind of like have to, you know, expand outwards almost like a circle

or a ripple in the ocean and you're having to expand outwards, you're kind of like having to grow outwards, which is kind of like very different, you know, quite different to moving forwards, which is effectively going in a linear sense, kind of like moving forwards in any sense at all. But yeah, some days and some periods literally feel like no progress at all. And you know, for a while, it's kind of like been like that for me. But, you know, it's kind of like something I'm having to get used to. And, you know, usually kind of like it helps

to just look back and have a look at the things that I've done to sort of like remind myself that I'm okay, and I'm doing the best I can.
