Don't Let It Fester: Recent Episodes
Chowder
I'm upset, I'm bitter, I'm sad and its all been piling on from last week and poured into this one. I'm also not good at words or geography apparently.
So this might be my last pod for the month and I'll start back up in June. I've done a lot on my hiatus from socials but I think I've also distracted myself from the true goals of the hiatus. Time to get back in my bag and finish what I intended to do.
Ending Song: Eternal Sunshine - Jhene Aiko

Robbed.....again, they took shit I can't get back, and its not just the monetary value of some of the stuff more importantly to me is the sentimental value of what they took. But as Kanye said in Real Friends I guess I get what I deserve don't I.

Sorry for the lack of uploads, I've been grinding hella hard lately with the build. This was recorded on the 29th of March. DMV gave me strife and I met a cop who came all the way out here from Queens!

Life is a simulation and sometimes I listen to production before lyrics and then when the lyrics hit me I overthink.

Foiled my own plans to drive to LA by being too much of a gear-head, I just wanted to replace some fluids but ended up doing suspension and some other things that took more time than anticipated. If you want to watch the video [because this pod specifically probably would be enjoyed better visually] you can swing over to my YT for DLIF 08.
Ending Song: Drake - Granted

Just some reflection after the job interview at RIVIAN, I think it went pretty well but we'll see if they offer me the position.
Here's a link to my pal's new YT channel she's been hella supportive of this pod and just me in general so I'd really appreciate if you all checked her video diaries out.

New shift adjustment at work has me making these during the day now....maybe and a quick overview of things I've been thinking about. Probs won't do daily pods because not everyday something interesting is going on not pertaining to my car project. We'll see, thanks again for listening, stay safe out there.

I've been letting it fester, and for that I apologize. I have moved across the country and to say I've had a full plate is an understatement. But the pieces of life's puzzle have slowly been falling into place. To kick off Season 2 of DLIF here's a conversation I had with my father I haven't seen in two decades. I made a pit stop at my hometown of Fort Wayne, Indiana to see him. It was a moment of growth and releasing of resentment. I didn't get to have real talk with him but it felt good to share time, space and energy with him. Ejoy & Don't Let It Fester. Love You all.

This is from July 26th. I've been on a cross country trip so I haven't been recording at night since I'm driving by myself, but when I settle in I'll have so much to tell.

It feels to good be outside again. It feels good to be around friends again. COVID kicked my ass but we are getting back into the groove. Also do unto others as you would like other to do unto you. Seriously.

Sometimes the little things matter more than you think. So wherever you are pause for a moment, slow down and think of something you feel is insignificant then find a way to make it important no matter how small it is. Look up at the clouds and just think about the sky, get your favorite piece of candy, whatever it is. Just take a moment and enjoy the little things.

Sometimes things are hard to swallow. Sometimes reality is hard to adjust to. Don't let it fester. Let it out.
