Happy 1 (2) Years!! Update
It's crazy to think I've done this podcast thing for nearly three years. My first attempt (Which is still up if you can find it) was in late 2018-2019. I had created a project I was very proud of, but I ended up deleting most of my content. I learned from what I hadn't loved about my first project to begin this one, and I a so happy with the things I have out. It has been a crazy year, but this podcast certainly has been one of the brightest parts of it. So thank you, and cheers to the future! Adieu

HELLO. I'm back at it again with another introspective on the week ahead, and I've got some stuff to say about my past few days.

Hope you can get something from this, or just get a peek into the brain of a young teenager! I promise I do not have all the answers, but if you keep listening you might just hear me whenever I do.
