When people get jobs, even ones they love, sometimes the grind of it can get to you. You can start asking yourself why you got into it or why you still do it. You get all inside your head. Those who ignore that because we’re having fun can even let the voices win sometimes. The saying if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life is on point, but frustration can and will creep its way in.
Radio is grueling sometimes, but especially when you’re running a network or managing a few stations, the work NEVER stops. Time away from family, the long hours and the lack of sleep can get to anyone. It doesn’t mean you don’t love what you do or that you don’t want to do it; you just need a break sometimes. It happens to those of us who are actually putting in the work.
I have been away for almost two months, and while it’s not nearly as long as the last time, I was forced to stop. Though this time was my choice, it felt like an eternity. Every day I wake up working my ass off to get back to my show as quickly as I can. I’ve been consuming music as much as possible and it’s awoken something in me that I feel was asleep. I’m loving music and its connection to people more than ever and it has me thanking God and the universe for letting me live this dream out!
I’m alive again, more alive than I have been in my whole entire life…to quote Eminem. Everything is good, and it’s about to be better. I can’t explain it, but I’ve got a renewed sense of everything this time. It’s about having fun and helping as many people as possible I can’t wait to get it going again; I’m about to fuck shit up!!! Helping people having fun and making this life worth living is the goal…nothing less will do!
You ain’t ready for what’s next…stay tuned!
Until the end of time…y’all be good! ✌️
