Tyler is the coolest creative in my books at the moment. He is such a free spirit. I've been on a creative block for idk how long now. I can't come up with new ideas for my digital arts, i'm not enjoying recording, I have tons of uncompleted instrumentals sitting in my library, haven't been able to write and all. I've just been seeing movies and eating corn.
It's October already, lol. How did we get here? Wasn't it yesterday when we chorused happy new year at church during crossover night. It must be a joke. What about the prayers I made? Habits I promised myself to cutoff. Habits I promised myself to adopt. Things I promised to do for myself. Someone tell it's not real, is what I'd say, but knowing that it is all real would make me sound dumb. I said I'd get closer to God, closer than the past year. Who am I kidding? I'm farther.
The only thing I can count so far in 2024 as an achievement is probably the jumpsuit and waistcoat I sew for Shammah and Jedidiah. I had never learned it before, I wanted to challenge myself. Knowing that if I screwed up, I don't have any money to fix things even motivated me to put my all, funny yea? There was a little screw up though, I worked it out somehow. These past five days has to be the proudest I've felt of myself this year. From the killer ¾ sleeved kaftan I made myself, to the jumpsuit and waistcoat I made with a dump course from YouTube and Chatgpt, to the new set of clothes I've been asked to make. The way I locked in reminded me of how limitless the things I could do were if only I put in the required effort.
Back to the jumpsuit and waistcoat. Shammah and Jedidiah held their career day at school yesterday, and their mom entrusted it to me to make their dresses. Shammah, a six year old, said he's going to be an engineer. Jedidiah, eight year old, said he was going to be a pastor. Guys, my heart smiled. I was happy really. Relentlessly, I completed it all on schedule despite the tight window. Seeing them wear it, and it fits perfectly, I was overjoyed. I just followed a guide from chatgpt, saw a few YouTube videos, and it worked out. Look at what I made.
PS: it's my first, be nice!
“Seun you're not so pathetic afterall”, I whispered to myself.
I dropped two of my songs already. And the reception was encouraging. If you haven't heard any, search me up on your preferred streaming platform seunn. The first I released is titled Everything. While the newest, My Girl.
I've started my book also. I decided to document my embarrassing love experience growing up in Ikorodu. I'll call it Love Happened at Ikorodu. So please, tell me what online reading platform you guys use the most. I can't afford a hardcopy rn, but will sometime. I'm currently working on the art for the cover page.
The outfits, the songs, the books. You are a super star.
I'm sat like mad for "love happened in Ikorudu"
