As I sail through another trip round the sun and I reflect on my past year I can’t help but think about identity.
For a while I thought I had lost mine.. but now I realize we do not need attachments to be whole.
🦋
Let’s get comfortable with the idea of self without attachments.
I am I.
I am.
I.
🍃
We are not a job. We are not our parents. We are not a car, or house, or a fabulous wardrobe.
We are not our friends or acquaintances.
🐍
Who are you without those things?
Who would you be friends with if they had none of those things?
🌱
Wear your soul inside out.
💗🌞🌻💗

Happy birthday daddio, the beginning and the reason. ✨

Without the experience of losing you I would not be here.
I am grateful for the motion of events that were set by the unluckiness of being in Thailand during the 2004 tsunami. I am grateful to have been witness to tragedy as it meant I gained perspective. I am grateful for the most painful and hardest of times that followed.
All of it led me here, with a keen interest in trauma, grief and resilience. Today it also happens that I start a course. 🦋🌝

And thankfully these motion of events also led me to . I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since we tied the knot. Grateful to be doing life together. Absolutely love you to the ends of the universe (even if you don’t believe in it)❤️💫

When I talk to people about stopping djing, most of them say “but you’re not really giving up right… you’ll be back” some have asked me to play in a few months, next year even. It’s a hard no. There are many reasons why I have stopped - wanting to concentrate on a psychology and healing modalities, wanting to spend more time with family and friends, suddenly realizing I was aspiring to a vampiric life spent at airports and random clubs with people you don’t know… but ultimately I truly fell out of love with the scene and everything that goes with it. It was a hard realization, especially as djing full time is a lot of peoples dream job. I put what I felt into words. 👀

It’s never too late to change your mind.

Dreams can change and so can people. I’ll be posting more musings about change soon. But for now I am happy to be pages in to my new chapter 🦋💚

DJING X THE EGO 👇🏼

Looking at the crowd, I subconsciously count how many hands are in the air. How many smiles, closed eyes or faces lost to enjoyment, nodding and signaling at me. If there are lots, I feel confident, happy, fulfilled, proud. A good set means I get lost in this feeling, high off others enjoyment of what I am playing them. On a worse night, I notice everyone who leaves - to the bar or bathroom most likely, but “this song isn’t good enough” goes through my mind - or “I am not good enough to make them stay”. My feelings of self worth ebb and flow over the course of my set, intrinsically tied to every person in that room, every hand, whoop, cheer, whistle, feeding my ego.

A good set means a full ego, a bad set, a shattered one.
DJing IS ego. Look at me, come see me play, follow me, listen to my mixes, like my pictures. I no longer want my self worth to be defined by the amount of whistles I hear during a song I played, but didn’t make.

There is a lot I loved about playing music to people, but all of it feeds the ego. And I am in the process of dismantling mine.

Disclaimer: This is my own experience and may not apply to all DJs. Also not here to judge 🐉💗🌝
