We are so fucking BACK ya'll, it's not even funny. I just upgraded to Mixcloud Pro, partly so I could have access to features like this, and mostly because I had to, as I reached my free episode limit. But how fun is this?
To all 9 subscribers, one of whom is my mom, hello again. Did you even notice I was gone for a month? A terrible, disappointing thing had happened, which was that I lost my computer, and also my will to live.
It is truly such a bummer. I was getting ready to leave work one evening, and I instinctively went to grab my backpack, only to see it wasn't there. I panicked, clearly remembering packing it for the day and slinging it on the bus with me. But I reassured myself, telling myself that I might be confused, and it's probably sitting on my bed right now. No need to freak out. Unfortunately it was not at home. Cameras outside work confirmed I didn't have it on when I entered that day, so my assumption is that I left my bag on the bus or at the bus stop, and it was stolen. The bag itself was special to me, and inside it was my computer, all of my chargers, and a very sentimental, personal journal that was just pages away from being completed in full. That journal documented a really big transitional period in my life - I was deeply gutted to know that it was likely lost forever.
I filled out a report with the Metro Transit Authority, but it's been about a month and I haven't heard back. I've come to a place of acceptance that my belongings of monetary and emotional value, are gone.
I will talk more about this on the mic, but the exciting news is I finally have access to a laptop! The show must go on! I have missed playing around on this platform. I love organizing music, chit chatting about life, and sharing my favorite songs.
This was a major lesson in detachment. I have been thinking a lot about endings. Letting go. Picking yourself up and moving forward. So I thought this image was appropriate, and an important mantra to remember - I can start over again and again and again and again
