I need this slightly autotuned, kick the beat up a few notches (just a touch), and turned into a song. This will be the new "my money don't jiggle jiggle".

The busy-ness is back. But so is making music with other people in the same room, so I can’t complain too much. 🤓

This really resonates with me. I’m in a self-imposed quarantine at the moment. At first it gave me FOMO, but now (if I don’t incessantly check Instagram) I finally feel an inkling of peace.

Love your poem! In my opinion, I felt like everyone was on the same level during the pandemic. We were all confused and scared but also given a chance to reevaluate everything. No one really had an upper hand because we were all stuck at home. Now it just feels like we’re back in the hustle culture race again.

I wrote words along side a Frank Sinatra song, My Way.

Great poem! I love the TikTok. It's fun to see creative people try new things. The pandemic is still influencing how I go about my business. The process of transitioning from freelance copywriting to my net thing has taken longer than I planned. But your poem is a reminder to me that I need to keep working to build my career in a way that lets me live a fully creative instead of trying to cram life around work.
