Signs of life (and clearer skin) for 2024
Immensely proud of my own growth this trip around the sun. Got a little better at keeping my word and turning down invitations to things i'd resent. Almost finished reading the bible (two books left and I'm having a blast with it. It's wild to read now that i can connect dots between that and the little bit i know about quantum physics, and can catch more of the sarcasm and irony and empathize more with it as life has played out. )
Started last year with two rounds of .official paracleanse, and that coupled with intermittent fasting / low-carb low-processed-food diet, and a habit change of going to the gym any time i felt tempted to complain about my life, until i was physically too tired to complain, caused me to lose about 40 lbs in 9 months and keep most of it off. Never been able to do that in my life. I'm down to my high school weight but more toned. Sometimes its not willpower so much as finding the root problems and habit stacking with better habits, and letting that compound. Swapping bad addictions for gradually more sustainable ones. Also the cleanse rewired my personality to be so much less anxious. Can't recommend it enough, and my health has never been better. My body is able to heal itself so much more easily now.
Got much more adept at audio/video editing, honed in on my live sound and I'm absolutely in love with it, finished a ton more arrangements that I can't wait to share, and i'm building a guitar transcription course as well.
I try to keep my page mostly business these days for privacy and sanity's sake, which is why I've been so quiet on here, but thank you to those of you who have checked in with me over the year to make sure I've been okay. Everything's good, and I so appreciate y'all reaching out. Just restructuring my online presence so it's a little more safe and efficient.
Also, thank you SO very much to anyone who has bought my tabs or merch or spent time with my work in ANY way, whether under my name or in association with other artists. It warms my heart, and I love seeing that it makes a difference for people in the real world.
Wishing you a peace-filled 2025 🖤- kirbs
