I used to have a bad temper and a pessimistic outlook, but I’m a dad now and I find it important to set a good example. Being a dad has taught me a lot about being patient and letting these negative emotions pass through me rather than channeling into them. It’s somehow come more natural to me these days than I thought it would. Life can be beautiful if you let yourself slow down.

This year has been tough as I’ve been working on myself. the biggest thing I struggle with is patience.
I’ve noticed that we react so quickly sometimes, good or bad, instead of processing things and having a clear idea.
With me, I noticed when someone is learning something new, I get impatient and want to tell them how to do it versus letting them figure it out.
Ive felt and noticed that I’m rushing too much. To get to work, to go home, to get ready, to go to the gym, to finish a task, etc. I don’t take in the day or smell the flowers. I don’t let time remain as is because I am trying my best to get so much done before the sun goes down.
Over the past 5 months, I started to change my pace. I timed my days better to allow me to take in more details. I noticed things clearly for what they were and not shrugging them off as usual.
I’m still learning and practicing a slower pace. I remain in my bubble, but aware of my actions and thoughts. Aware of when my patience becomes non existent and when it’s not enough.
And no matter where I go or who I’m with, I remind myself: be patient.

Frank always fits the mood. Feeling shitty? Put on some Frank. Feeling good? Put on some Frank. Don’t know how you’re feeling? Put on some Frank.

I watch half an episode of Scooby Doo every night in the shower before I go to bed. By the time I start the other half of the episode the following night, I don’t remember what’s going on and when they reveal the villain it’s never a big deal because I already forgot the storyline. But it’s a great show and find it a calming way to wind down.

I really hate bright lights. In my studio and my bedroom I have colored bulbs which help me work and relax. I’ve found my perfect trilogy is orange, pink and purple. I like one of each color in different areas of the room, the combination is nice. I’m super ADHD and find it hard to work or focus if it’s too bright, so I buy the lowest wattage available or just dim it almost all the way down. My bandmates hate it because they say they can’t see their fingers on the fretboard when we’re trying to work on music, but it’s really the only way I can work.
