2018 - Changes, Looking Up & Going Forth
Hello, it has been a couple of weeks so I guess it’s a good time to write a post. So about the contest I entered, I did not make the top 3 places but it is okay. In fact, it is all good. I came into the mentality that it is more of a chance to learn and get better at mixing. The top 3 mixes were released so I will do what they did, take a listen, and then compare it to what I did with their mixes. I will also go back listen to the original so that I can try and observe auditorily. The best thing I can do for my own growth is just learn, learn, learn. Then do, do, do. Nothing can get me better, nothing can help me hone my skills without learning from my mistakes, learning from what I read and watch, and then go do it.
I’m not gonna be sharing my New Year Resolutions because it’s not beneficial for me. Instead, I’m gonna keep it to myself but keep in mind that I want to accomplish as many as I can. I look forward to continue to better myself, to build my confidence, and overall, prepare for my future self.
I’ll end it here because I don’t have a lot to talk yet but probably in a couple of months there will be more to share, reflect, and talk about.
I hope everyone else is having a good start to their 2018. If not, I hope changes come and it’ll get better.
God bless!!
What does it mean to "go forth"? And what can you reflect upon to support that? Mangala introduces us to the Dasadhamma sutta, a deeply transformative teaching which discusses the 10 essentials for people who wish to go forth from unskilful habits of behaviour.
Bridge over water
Like a bridge over water,
help provide a way for others
to go forth

"anthem, fuck it"
You're only in your 20s once, so why not? I'm going to get highlights, paint my nails neon pink, drink coffee, write about random things, the stupidest of things, put on mascara, wear red lipstick, play guitar at coffee shops, start a fashion blog, move to San Francisco, climb to the top of my career, get into Columbia business school in New York, work in fashion, become the next Angela Adhrents.
And fuck it.
I'm going to take vodka shots, dance with cute guys, permit myself to do some major self-love, be okay with seeing and accepting that I have flaws, stop over-thinking and critically analyzing everything, stop being conscious (what? what does this even mean), permit myself to like someone.
Give myself permission to show my feelings. Letting others see me without my guard. Letting myself just let things be. Realizing there isn't always a logical explanation for everything, letting things happen.
Giving myself permission to want to make out profusely with someone and letting me show someone else that I want to do the same things too. Letting myself "go" and enabling myself to tell someone I like someone too.
Fuck it.
We're only in our 20s once.
Why are we so terrified? I don't get it.
Major 2014 resolution.
It's scary, but...I'm going to do it.
“There are two kinds of happiness. There is that of the uncommitted life of sensual pleasures, and there is that of the committed life, one of going forth to a new consciousness. Of these, the happiness of going forth is greater.”
Anguttara Nikaya
Value the committed life.
