Looking back on everything
To say that 2018 wasn’t a challenging year would be a huge understatement. 2018 brought in a lot of challenges but also a lot of good at the same time. In 2018, I finally finished The Wandering Ear website after taking nearly a year to work on it. I also was able to finally explain to someone what on earth this is. So, that was fun. I was also able to finally have a clear vision of what I want for The Wandering Ear which is something that I can’t wait to share with everyone.
In 2018, I was able to go to nearly 20 concerts and I was able to go to my very first EDM show. I also was able to travel to California with my brother to our very first festival out of state together which was Hard Summer which was an amazing experience and something that I will share about later on in the blog. I also went to Bumbershoot for the third year in a row and went to Capitol Hill Block Party which was an absolute blasts.
I was able to discover artists like Hippie Sabotage, Cashmere Cat, Mura Masa, Brent Faiyaz, Sango, and countless more. I can’t wait to share with you guys the amazing concerts and music that these artists are making. I also created a few banging playlist that I can’t wait to share with everyone.
Overall, it’s been a great year but also has been challenging year at the same time. I nearly stopped writing this blog and almost gave up completely. It’s also been a year of really digging deep and figuring out why on earth do I still have this blog and why do I still want to write and what do I want out of this. I also really had to take a long break to really get my mind straight because I wasn’t focused on the long term vision. I found myself focused on the numbers and why only 3 people are reading this and not realizing that I’m the one who is in control of how many people read it and that I just need to be open to share it with more people and not be so shy about it.
But with all of that being said I’m glad to be back and I’m glad for the changes that will be happening with The Wandering Ear. I know that with all of these challenges and breaks that I’ve taken I know that they’re meant to be cause now I’m refreshed and ready to make The Wandering Ear the very best it can be. So, I want to thank everyone whose been with me since day one you guys are the real ones.
