I actually recommend it. It’s fun to see yourself singing in your and have it filmed.
Karaoke on- record myself singing never fails.

emotional reflections.
This week has actually been pretty hard. I don’t know why but maybe it’s part of the creative process to have some punctual bad weeks. I’ve really being feeling quite low.
Week 4 in the book is all about "reading deprivation," which basically translates to a hardcore social media detox. I thought logging off would feel amazing and freeing, but the sudden silence was actually kind of suffocating. When you stop doomscrolling and looking at everyone else's highlight reels, you're forced to actually listen to your own thoughts. And honestly? My brain was just exhausted.
I realized I'm not just burnt out; I'm kind of grieving. I've wasted so much time and energy making content I didn't even care about, just to keep the algorithm happy and maintain this perfect "Frontstage" vibe. Realizing how many cool, weird ideas I buried just because I thought they wouldn't get enough likes is a really tough pill to swallow.
This week taught me that the "Backstage" isn't always this cute, aesthetic healing journey. Sometimes, it’s just sitting with your messy feelings, feeling zero inspiration, and letting the old, people-pleasing version of yourself fall apart. It hurts, but it's exactly what needs to happen.
