Today I finished MY FIRST-EVER-LYRICS — the first thing I’ve written since a long writer’s block. And it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible human beings from @tvontheradio 🩷 After the concert I’d been waiting for nearly my whole life (22 years, I guess), they unexpectedly announced a party. I was too nervous and somehow I found courage to dance like it was my last time and to ask the things I had carried for years: about the creative process and hesitations. My hands were shaking, but I tried to hold onto every word @tadebimpe said: “Make art as much as you can. And do it for yourself.” And something inside me shifted. Something that still helps me to write every day after our meeting. No judging myself, no thinking about the audience and the art as the product. Then @jaleezy dropped an idea: “You do poetry? What if you tried songwriting? The world needs your voice.” And he gave me the kindest smile when I tried to explain that I knew nothing about it. That smile was the answer. @luvandoverstanding held my hand as we spoke — a final blessing. NOW: 2 notebooks filled, 1 song finished, a songwriting course started, and I’m back to playing piano. And I can say: TV on the Radio isn’t just my favorite band and endless inspiration. They are my mentors. I hope they’d be happy to know these conversations brought me back to writing — and gave me an extra superpower to support others & myself as well. Those were the happiest days — full of life, dancing, art, honesty, and luck. I mean, how do you explain catching the setlist, meeting the heroes at a party, and hugging them at the airport? Thank you for all you do. It’s hard work — I know. But the impact is beyond comparison 🫶🏽 @tadebimpe @jaleezy @luvandoverstanding @jesskehume @roofeeo @smoota

Смотрю в светлое будущее. Вчера мне разложили таро на год, и я поняла, что впервые знаю все ответы без карт: какие сложности ждут, что будет помогать, что именно даст мне рост. Долгожданное ощущение абсолютной известности и определенности. Я точно знаю, что буду делать сама, а вот заботы про ответ мира на все это и окружающая обстановка в целом уходят на дальний план. Такой самопровозглашенный хозяин рек, морей, океанов и горизонтов.

Radiohead выручают всегда. На прошлой неделе я должна была слушать Pyramid Song в Лондоне и сидеть на открытом интервью Idles, попивая шампейн. Но внезапно мне пришел отказ в британской визе (все случается впервые!). Меня это, конечно, разъебало. Стоит ли говорить, что я много работала, чтобы поехать и как следует отдохнуть (визг мощного выгорания). Пришлось быстренько собраться и придумать, где все же провести отпуск (сложно пиздец, но каникулы сами себя не организуют). Ответ пришел из песни Radiohead — и через несколько дней я уже смотрю на pyramids и потягиваю джус у бассейна. О втором у Тома Йорка ни слова, зато есть про nothing to fear and nothing to doubt — и это точно про Каир 🌞

Horses? Groundbreaking. @janisrafa was one of the most striking artists I discovered in @emstathens . Not just Instagrammable (which, let’s be honest, does matter these days), but also emotionally charged and deep statement on animal–human relationships. Themes like care, desire, control, learning, exploitation, the body, beauty, pain, and limits came together to question how we treat animals — especially in violent competitions — and how we push, train, and use ourselves in our own daily race 💔
