I’ve made it through four back to back 12+ hour days juggling my email job, my church job, and three separate freelance projects. Thank you to my husband for doing all my dishes. Thank you to

for keeping me afloat through an evening of chaotic madrigal sightreading 🙏🏽

I’d honestly just cook, eat, sleep, exercise, relax, and gently work on my technique and repertoire. It would be a total godsend after burning the candle from every end for so long.

The most common way I see people write shit opera is by shoving lyrics into a rhythm that fights the actual pronunciation of the words. This makes simple music horrendously difficult memorize while also rendering it unintelligible, and I don’t understand why composers insist on doing it.

Increasingly I keep being told by normies that they would “love to go to the symphony someday” and it’s starting to drive me crazy because if you want to go, you can just go! It’s not a once-in-a-lifetime thing! It’s not expensive! You don’t have to know anything! Just buy a ticket and go!

Lately I’ve often found myself wishing my family had just stayed in Asia and that I’d been born and raised there. I don’t know if I could’ve coped with the beauty standards, but at least I wouldn’t be paying taxes in the U.S. in 2026 🫠

Glad I don’t use Spotify, because I have listened to Zhang Linghe’s runway song on repeat for weeks at this point, and I don’t need an app to remind me that I’ve lost my bananas

I am absolutely plagued by the wildest intrusive thoughts lately. I can’t so much as scroll past a photo of a serrated knife without vividly imagining it sawing away at my tongue. What kind of mental illness is this?!?!

I could never spend my entire work life grinding away for 40 hours a week at some office doing things I don’t care about. That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to making music so I can spend just half of my work life grinding away for 40 hours a week at some office doing things I don’t care about 🥰

If any of you are keeping up with the batshit ludicrous Chinese period drama that is Pursuit of Jade, please tell me. It is the silliest soap opera nonsense I have ever beheld with my own two eyes. I am obsessed.
