Back in the Building, and it's Been a Little Minute!

So, Okay, I know it's been quite awhile since my last blog update. I've been quite the busy little bee over the last couple of years. Ups, downs, and all around, It's been wild as all get out. So far this year I've had a few different clients, at least a couple regular repeat clients from the Military Base nearby. So I'm not complaining. But I want to update what's been gong on over the last 2 years.

I'll go back to Christmas Day of 2023, that was absolutely a very rough day for me, I started off the day rewiring my desk and I received a call from my sister saying that something happened to my step father, I rush over to my mom's house to see what happened and I see my stepdad laying on the floor with paramedics not moving. He passed away while opening presents just out of the blue, so that was a very hard end to the year and a hard start to 2024.

Then in 2024 I started off in a real depression due to what happened on Christmas Day, so business didn't really boom that year. Then in March I had a friend who was also a client pass away, he had gotten into a car accident totaling his vehicle and then that weekend he passed away in his sleep after a bad medication reaction and complications from the accident. That was another hard blow to my mental health and emotions so 2024 wasn't a great year for music or really anything, I went to seek counseling and I found it through my local college.

After months of therapy I've finally worked through some of the pain I've dealt with, I'm still learning, growing, and getting better day by day, but I'd had a bad year and I almost shut my doors permanently.

Now it's 2025!

Now it's 2025 and we're close to half-way through the year in May and so far April was my best month by far, clients every weekend, new music being made, and just an overall flourish, right now, this month things have slowed down a bit, but I'm not out of it yet. I'm going to work my ass off to make 2025 my best year doing my studio. I'm going to try to find as many clients as I possibly can, I'm going to try to go to some meetups if there's any up in Oklahoma City. I'm going to work on doing Networking, coming up with new products to sell on my Gumroad.

Anyway, here's to a fresh, new year and I'll try to do more updates as time goes on, I'm going to shoot for at least once a month.

Thanks for reading!
